Horse stone in Konevets island
Horse stone in Konevets island, Natural monument on Konevets Island, Russia
The Horse Stone stands as a massive boulder weighing over 750 tons, positioned on the western section of Konevets Island in Lake Ladoga.
The boulder gained recognition in 1393 when St. Arseny Konevsky established a monastery near this location to convert local Karelians to Christianity.
The stone formation bears resemblance to a horse skull, leading to numerous traditional stories and religious ceremonies conducted by the Orthodox community.
Visitors reach the Horse Stone through boat transportation to Konevets Island, with services operating more frequently during summer months from May to September.
The boulder measures approximately 30 feet tall and features a wooden chapel constructed directly adjacent to its natural formation.
