This big boulder of Rødjyde
is
found on the beach near Hindsholm. The
old names are Ryjyestenen and
Rejyestenen. I did not time my visit
well; it was high tide, windy and night-time.

Dunhammeren 44, 5390 Martofte.
GPS: 55.546711, 10.619821.
Size: 1,4 metres
high, 2,3 metres wide and 3,7 meters
long. (GEUS: 2*4*4)
Meaning of the
name: Red Jutlander.

Haga granite.
Origin: Åland,
Sweden.
Legend:
According to the legend, Rødjyde was
thrown in a garter by a giant woman (or
a wizard) from the Sletten after
Stubberup Church. The garter bursted and
therefore the stone did not reach the
church but fell on the edge of Langø.
