The Buskam in 2020

The Buskam, also Buhskam or Buskamen is a large glacial erratic boulder, 325 metres off the coast of Göhren, Rügen, northern Germany.[1] Erratics (Шаблон:Lang-de) have been scattered all over northern Germany by the glaciers of the Ice Age, but are usually much smaller. The Buskam has a volume of about 600 m3, a circumference of about 40 metres, and weights about 1,600 tons.[1] A third of it (206 m3) lies above the water surface.

Cavities in the rock indicate that the Buskam was used as a ritual place in prehistory,[1] when such caved rocks were commonly used for ritual sacrifice. An iron crucifix was attached to it after the conversion of Pomerania.[1]

According to local legends, the Buskam is the site where witches dance during Walpurgis Night, and mermaids are also supposed to dance often on the rock.[1]
