Buskam

The Buskam, also Buhskam or Buskamen is a large glacial erratic boulder, 325 metres off the coast of Göhren, Rügen, northern Germany.^[1] Erratics (German: Findlinge) have been scattered all over northern Germany by the glaciers of the Ice Age, but are usually much smaller. The Buskam has a volume of about 600 m³, a circumference of about 40 metres, and weights about 1,600 tons.^[1] A third of it (206 m³) lies above the water surface.

Cavities in the rock indicate that the Buskam was used as a ritual place in
