Big Bolder in a forest north of Tensbuettel.
There are some stories attached.
In short.
One day a young farmer missed one of his cows, a white one.
He looked for it inside this forest. There he met the goddess 'Harke'... and fell in love. She explained to him, that he has to die if he wanted to love her. He couldn't resist, but he asked her for a good burial. She promised to burry him so securely, nobody would be able to
disturb his peace.
So it happened, and when his friends looked for him, they found this big stone.
Years later, a man was hired to cut the stone in pieces.
But when he prepared to split the stone, the heavens went dark, thunder came and lightning struck. The guy ran for his life, and nobody touched the stone anymore.
