Riesenstein

The Riesenstein near Bad Belzig is likely a prominent glacial erratic or rock formation in the Fläming region of Brandenburg — a large block of Scandinavian stone deposited by Ice Age glaciers onto the North German Plain. Such boulders were frequently used as gathering or ritual sites in prehistoric times and are relatively rare landmarks in this otherwise flat landscape. It makes a modest but distinctive natural waypoint for walkers exploring the forests around Bad Belzig and the Hoher Fläming nature park.
