Конь-камень, Boulder and tourist site in Efremov district, Tula Region, Russia.
The stone formation measures approximately 20 tons and stands on smaller stone supports, displaying a natural shape similar to a horse head.
The stone emerged over 70 million years ago during the ice age period through natural geological processes in the Tula region.
Local traditions connect the stone to ancient pagan rituals, where ceremonies for health and fertility took place near the banks of the Mecha River.
Visitors can reach the site by driving 280 kilometers from Moscow or 120 kilometers from Tula, with parking areas located near the formation.
The boulder rests on natural stone pillars, creating a physical formation where visitors can walk underneath the massive rock structure.
