Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Latvia
Listed Boulder. County : Zemgale.
Along A6/E22, only 50 m on the West of the A6/E22 Daugavpils-Riga, between Livāni and Jēkabpils. The stone is signposted (but the signpost is only visible when coming from the north).
When overgrown (like in June 2014), it is easily overlooked.
A stair has been provided to climb on the stone (soft sole shoes, please).
Length 6.7 m. Width 5.9 m. Height 2.3 m. Circumference 19.8 m. Volume 45 m³.
The stone is not particularly nice, and its environment, along a main road, is not quite appealing either.
Other photos of the stone when the field is cleared here.
