Lake Prossa recreation site
  • Parking

This relatively isolated recreation site offers you a chance to see one of the largest erratic boulders in Jõgeva County.

The Prossa site in Jõgeva County is built around a single giant: a huge erratic boulder that people call Kalevipoeg's throwing stone, once known as the Prossa giant boulder. Folk tradition says that the epic hero Kalevipoeg hurled it here, while geologists see a block of migmatite and biotite gneiss carried from the north by the ice sheet. With a perimeter of about 25 m and a length of around 9 m, it is among the largest boulders in Jõgeva County. The site is quiet and remote, with only an information board and benches; camping and campfires are not allowed.
