Former marker stone (or "natural" stone used as such in the course of times), along gravel road P106 near Vībiņi in Kurzeme, Latvia.
The stone is not listed. Such an obvious landmark was so easily recognizable that two field tracks converged here. The former tracks have evolved into present-day gravel roads. The recent curtain of trees attests the attention given to such stones in modern times.
