Nardevitz Erratic
The Nardevitz Erratic (german: Findling Nardevitz), also called the Great Rock of Nardewitz (''Großer Stein von Nardevitz''), is one of the largest glacial erratics in North Germany. It lies about 400 metres north of Nardevitz, a village in the parish of Lohme on the island of Rügen. Surrounded by trees and bushes as well as other drift material that was in the way of farming, it lies in the middle of a field. Its volume is estimated at 104 m³, which gives it a mass of 281 tonnes. The above-ground portion has a volume of 71 m³. It is therefore, apart from Buskam which lies in the Baltic Sea off Göhren (Rügen), Göhren, the largest erratic on Rügen and an important geological sight. Because the Nardevitz Erratic was used for a long time to obtain construction material, it is suspected today that it was once three times its present size. For example, in 1854 and 1855, column drums weighing about five tonne and pedestal blocks, up to 2 tonnes in weight, for ...

Findling Nardevitz 4
Findling is a white German wine grape variety that arose from a mutation of Müller-Thurgau plantings in the Mosel wine region. Compared to Müller-Thurgau, Findling produces grapes of higher must weights, which is an important consideration in the German wine classification system. However, according to wine expert Jancis Robinson, the grape produces wine of average to low quality and is prone to various grape rot infections.J.
