Валун Русич, Glacier boulder in Lomakha village, Leningrad Oblast, Russia
Rusich boulder is a massive granite block left behind by glaciers near Lomakha village in Leningrad Oblast. The stone has an unusual shape that resembles a ram's head and sits beside a small apple tree.
The boulder was deposited here by glaciers thousands of years ago and remains one of the largest glacial formations in the area. It has stood in this spot through countless centuries of change.
The boulder is named after an ancient Slavic hero and holds meaning for the local community as a landmark. You can sense how this spot matters to people who live in the surrounding villages.
The site is easily accessible with parking available and marked walking paths for visitors. Information boards help you understand the stone and explore the surrounding woodland and fields.
A small apple tree grows right next to the massive granite formation, creating a striking contrast between hard stone and living plant. This unexpected pairing makes the spot memorable for visitors.
