Möwenstein (Ummanz)

The Möwenstein is a glacial erratic that was transported south from the area of the present-day island of Bornholm by the ice sheet during the last glaciation.

It is located on the island of Ummanz in the west of Rügen within the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park.

The block, which is made of syenogranite and hammer granite, is legally protected as a natural monument and is indexed by the State Office for the Environment, Conservation and Geologie (de:Landesamt für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Geologie Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) as number G2 91.

Access to the rock itself is restricted by conservation regulations that depend on the season.
