Vaiķu Laukakmens
Vaiķu Laukakmens submitted by Alta-Falisa : General view. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Latvia

Listed Boulder. County : Zemgale.
Along A6/E22, only 50 m on the West of the A6/E22 Daugavpils-Riga, between Livāni and Jēkabpils. The stone is signposted (but the signpost is only visible when coming from the north).
When overgrown (like in June 2014), it is easily overlooked.
A stair has been provided to climb on the stone (soft sole shoes, please).
Length 6.7 m. Width 5.9 m. Height 2.3 m. Circumference 19.8 m. Volume 45 m³.
The stone is not particularly nice, and its environment, along a main road, is not quite appealing either.
Other photos of the stone when the field is cleared here.

Vaiķu Laukakmens submitted by Alta-Falisa : The stone is bang in the middle of the photo, but hardly visible if you do not know about it. The highway mentioned in the description is just behind the photographer (i.e. me). June 2014. (Vote or comment on this photo)
