Kadov · STORY FROM THE ATLAS

The famous rocking stone

Near the village, about a hundred paces from the road, a small tree-covered cluster of granite rocks stands among the fields, dominated by a remarkable rocking stone. The enormous boulder weighs about ten tonnes and rests on another stone on its narrowing base. It has a troubled history, having been toppled several times by vandals. Recently a group of enthusiastic conservationists restored it to its precariously balanced position.
