The area around is a grassy open field with a nice view over the sea. The stone itself is around 6.5 metres in height, almost 7 metres in height! It is around 30 cm wide at the widest and it has a beautiful smooth surface. Some smaller trees are growing around the base. It is tilting just a little to one side. I was really impressed by seeing this stone! The stone is visible from miles away.
