Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Estonia

"Tammispea" is the name of small hamlet nearby (off the main road and hardly noticeable by a foreign visitor).
"Rändrahn" means boulder -- you would be perfectly understood by saying "kivi" (stone) ou "suurkivi" (big stone), provided you would come across anybody to talk to, that is.
"Hiidrahn" means haunted stone.

Better come from the road 210 (from 59.5578, 25.8292) to limit the stretch on gravel road.

NOTE : as everybody has noticed, there is a 10 to 20 meters discrepancy between the coordinates provided by Google Street Views, ACME Mapper/Google Maps and your navigator. The coordinates I give are the ones I use to find a site. Similarly, I most generally take a picture of whatever landmark can be useful to find a site. In this particular case, a signpost (see photo) helps to locate the stone -- as long as it is upright.
