Myths, legends, and mystery surround this fascinating megalithic formation consisting of 58 (59) upright boulders and one vertical (weighing up to 1.8 tons each) – placed in a gigantic ship formation, 67 meters in length and 19 meters wide. The largest stones are almost 3.5-meter and are called “bow” and “stern.” They are directed towards the sunrise at the time of the summer solstice, and the sunset at the time of the winter solstice.
