Bastustain

The Bastustain ( German  "sauna stone" ) is located in a field south of the road to Gerete in Rone -Hägdarve in Hemse on the island of Gotland in Sweden and is about 5.0 meters tall and equally wide boulder from rapakivi granite (rapakivi = German  " Bröckelstein " or" bad stone "), which comes from Finland . The local name of the stone comes from the fact that there used to be a sauna (in Swedish, Bastu from badstuga ) next to the stone. It is Gotland's largest boulder.

Nearby is the Uggarde rojr the third largest Roese Sweden and the Lejsturojr in Ronehamn another Großröse.
