Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Noord-Holland

The Kei van Hilversum (Hilversum Boulder) is a large erratic weighing 13 metric tons. In the middle ages it served as a border marker between Hilversum and Laren but it dissapeared under the sand until it was rediscovered in 1916 on the Westerheide near the Aardjesberg. In 1921 it was moved to downtown Hilversum. In 2007 it was moved to its current spot.
