Runkesten, Rumskulla

The stone measures 6.5 meters in length, 5.5 meters in width, and 4 meters in height, standing in the forest between Rumskulla and Mariannelund.

The glacial movements during the last Ice Age transported this massive boulder southward, depositing it approximately 12,000 years ago in its current location.

Local legends tell of a giantess named Kåra who threw the stone at Rumskulla church, frustrated by the sound of its bells.

Visitors can reach the stone by following a marked 600-meter hiking trail from the gravel parking area located along Mariannelundsvägen.

This natural formation ranks among the largest movable boulders globally, capable of rocking back and forth through simple human force despite its substantial size.
