Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Akershus

In the forest just next to an old travel road between Gukil and Nordbråte is a large boulder. The boulder is located on a small rock outcrop and is naturally supported by smaller stones on the underside. The stone has many local legends. Old people used to tell stories about the troll that lived under the stone and local people avoided the place since they believed it was haunted. The place doesnt look so scary in sunlight!

The stone is rectangular, around 2,9 metres in length, 1,75 metres wide and 1,5 metre in height and has rounded corners.
