Parunikivi rest stop

The “Baron’s boulder” has a thick moss cover and the shape of an irregular polyhedron, and is situated 100 m south of the Vormsi roundabout. The stone bears a commemorative inscription in German dedicated to the Baron von Stackelberg by his sons.

Parunikivi, the Baron's Stone, stands in pine forest near Hullo, the main village of Vormsi island. It is an erratic boulder of rapakivi granite, about 20 m around, flat on top with straight sides, thickly covered in moss, and most of it is hidden underground. On it is a German inscription in memory of Otto Friedrich Fromhold von Stackelberg, the last baron of Vormsi, placed there by his sons. The stone has been protected by nature conservation since 1941 and was added to the cultural heritage list in 1997. A 0.5 km path leads to it from the Hullo community centre.
