    Hiking

    The stones have already traveled a long way

    The boulder (the 10t natural monument - already large for northern German conditions) was shipped from southern Sweden to Nienburg around 200,000 years ago during the Saale Ice Age.

    Hiking

    Four boulders line the banks of the Weser between the Friends of Nature House and the theater.

    They come from the Weser and have a mysterious origin. The Water and Shipping Office is constantly removing heavy stones weighing more than three tons from the river bed with their floating grab, but it doesn't take long for some to "grow" back. The hydraulic engineers are faced with a puzzle.

    More boulders (natural monuments) are located a little further north on the Weser Cycle Path at the tip of the Weser Peninsula and just before Nienburg Harbour.
