Boulder "Puntuko brolis", Protected glacial boulder in Anykščiai region, Lithuania.

The Puntuko brolis boulder stands as a substantial natural formation with exposed granite surfaces rising prominently from the surrounding forest landscape.

During the last glacial period between the 18th and 12th millennium BC, ice movements transported this massive stone to its current location.

Local residents connect this boulder to ancient Lithuanian folklore through stories of devils attempting to destroy churches with enormous stones.

The boulder site includes marked paths for observation, while visitors can combine their trip with the nearby Anykščiai treetop walking trail.

This geological formation contains distinctive Rapakivi granite characterized by large potassium feldspar crystals encased in green oligoclase rings.
