This is a gigantic granite boulder resting on a short incline. The boulder is almost six meters high and five meters wide, weighs around 250 tons. It stands on the base of a slope and said to be in the same place for 1200 years. There were attempts in the past to move the boulder from its position due to safety concerns but none of them were succesful. The boulder is a historical monument now so no attempts were made in the recent past to move it from its position.
The boulder sits in the middle of a park and it is surrounded by rock formations in which the children plays. Its pretty good hangount place. A part of the biulder has eroded away making it look like a halp sheprical rock.
