The Teufelsstein or Giant Stone is a boulder in the backwater west of Pudagla in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district . The stone designated as a geotope is located on the coulter bank of the backwater around 200 meters west of the Konker mountain. The distance to the cliff is around 100 meters.
The boulder is 4.0 meters long, 3.8 meters wide and 2.7 meters high, of which an average of 1.2 meters is below the water level. The circumference is 10 meters. The volume was calculated to be 22 cubic meters. It consists of granite with blue quartz and was brought to Western Pomerania by glaciers from Småland during the Vistula Ice Age.
The forecast by the devil or a giant wanted to prevent the construction of the monastery Pudagla in which he threw the stone to the monastery. The stone slipped from his fingers, hit the Konker Berg and rolled into the water.
