Rocking stone in Rutsker Højlyng

The Rocking Stone in Rutsker Højlyng is the middle-sized of Bornholm’s three rocking stones and a fascinating natural feature set in open heathland. This large glacial boulder rests quietly in the landscape, offering visitors a chance to experience both the power of the Ice Age and the peaceful surroundings of one of the island’s lesser-known areas.

Rutsker Høyling has several big blocks, but the pedestal rock (rokkesten) is the most known of them and has a weight of about 20 tons.
