Natural Stone in Lithuania
A well known boulder, signposted along the main road.
Its peculiar shape, vaguely comparable to a whale, may have inspired legends.
Due to its size, and standing in an open field, it is easy to spot on satellite maps.
Information board next to the stone.
Road description. Signposted along road 160 at (55.6355, 22.3216) for both directions -- and I advise you to set your navigator to this point instead of to the coordinates of the Akmuo (Stone) itself, to avoid being lead onto field tracks. From there, drive about 1500 m until a bend with a farm on your right ; and from there, you'll have to walk about 200 m across field.
I didn't find the stone, because I had found another one : Požerė akmuo, and I thought that was it...!
