Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Utrecht

This is one of the biggest stones in the Netherlands. Nice erratic at the corner of the N225 and Paardenveld.
The attached plate tells us: “Erratic block of Uppsala-granite from Uppland, South of Sweden. Found in 1972 at the Dikkenberg estate (Rhenen) by sand excavation. The erratic is dated to the third ice-age (200.000-100.000 years ago) by the Pleistocene land ice transported to Rhenen.
The weight is 16 tons. Unfortunately, because of the transport a part of the stone has been demolished”. Original weight: 21 tons, the broken piece lies at the corner of Nieuwe Veenendaalseweg/Paardenveld. That must be an erratic of about 5 tons, position is 51.96485N 5.56624E
