This is the largest boulder in Estonia and one of the largest of its kind in the glaciation area of northern Europe. The name is Ehalkivi and it is located in Northern Estonia not far from the town Kunda.
We decided to get close to it but it's a bit of a wetland around it so need to watch out where you step. The sea level needs to be quite low too because it's often surrounded by water. Fortunately for us, it was partly on dry land at the time.
Its circumference is 49.6m, height 7.6m, length 16.6m and it weighs around 2500 tonnes.
Pictures never give you a scale of how large it is so I put myself in the photo with this boulder too. Here you have a great comparison. Pretty cool.
And a coastside photo to show the beauty of the surrounding area
It's definitely a good sized boulder! How did it get there???

Probably got carried here during the last Ice age from cliffs of Norway.

The rock climber in me wants to climb that boulder! Haha, is there more boulders like that or climbing areas near there?
This boulder can be climbed, I have seen pictures of people on it. Not entirely sure how they got there, there is not an easy way up. Overall, Estonia has many boulders that you can climb.
Mis sa kiva tassid, kiva raske…
No ma katsusin tõsta aga pigem käis üle jõu.
