Hanging stone | Висячий камень
Two hundred kilometers from my house is the Ergaki nature park. This bizarre jumble of rocks, lakes and spurs resulting from the action of glaciers. The area of the park is more than three hundred forty thousand hectares and Ergaki has many natural attractions.
В двухстах километрах от моего дома находится природный парк Ергаки. Это причудливая смесь камней, озёр и отрогов возникшая в результате действия ледников. Площадь парка составляет более трехсот сорока тысяч гектаров, и в Ергаках множество природных достопримечательностей.
Today I will tell about one of the attractions Ergaki, about the Hanging Stone. At the top of the mountain, on an incline, a huge boulder is miraculously held.
Сегодня я расскажу об одной из достопримечательностей Ергаков, о Висячем Камне. На вершине горы, на наклонной поверхности каким-то чудом удерживается огромный валун.
This is how it looks from the bottom of the mountain with an optical zoom.
Вот так он выглядит в начале подъёма, приближенный оптическим зумом.
Rising to the Hanging Stone has to overcome the pile of boulders.
Поднимаясь к Висячему камню приходится преодолеть нагромождение валунов.
But the goal was achieved, and we are near the Hanging Stone. My height is 180 centimeters, and I serve as a ruler to determine the scale.
Но вот цель достигнута и мы рядом с Висячим камнем. Мой рост 180 см. и я служу масштабной линейкой.
View of the Hanging Stone from the other side.

The stone is in contact with the inclined surface of the rock with a small area and it is not clear what force holds it in such an unstable position, it is also not clear what force threw this stone to the top of the rock.
Камень соприкасается с наклонной поверхностью скалы небольшой площадью, и не понятно, какая сила удерживает его в таком неустойчивом положении, также неясно, какая сила забросила этот камень на вершину скалы.

Вот кто-нибудь возьмет и уронит его.
Пытались, в начале девяностых даже домкраты наверх затаскивали, добились только того, что теперь камень неподвижен, а раньше его можно было руками покачать немного.
Да уж... дурней хватает.

What a fantastic boulder @irvet! Oh my goodness
this stone is so big it could be its own mountain!
Must of been quite a hike up there over the many
other boulders. Love the views there looking up
at it and being right next to this cool rock!
Sure don't look like much holding it at bay!
Did you try to push it? :-)
I to wonder how it got to this point! What a
wonderful post of this most awesome boulder!
Thank you so much for showing us this grand place
with incredible boulders for #bouldersunday!
Legend has it that when the Hanging Stone falls, the Sleeping Sayan awakens from the roar, and the End of the World comes ...
Sleeping Sayan, this is a mountain range, resembling the outlines of a sleeping man, if you look closely, you can see his head, nose and hands folded on his chest in the first photo ...
This is what Sleeping Sayan looks like from afar:

It does look like a sleeping man.
You are right, according to legend, this is a sleeping giant named Sayan
Made me think of Ragnarök when the rock falls!
Really does look like a giant man, thank you for
showing these photos! We have a Sleeping Lady
mountain here near Anchorage Alaska :-)
Probably there are similar legends in many countries around the world :)

Lovely shots. That is an amazing hanging rock. It is a wonder how it got there. U&R
Yes, it also amazes me how this stone was on top of a rock
Holy moly! Now that's a boulder! It really fires your imagination, wondering how that came to be. I am very impressed that you climbed up there.
This place is considered a “weekend hike,” in the morning we went to Ergaki, which is 200 km., From a parking lot to a hanging stone, about 7 km. and returned home in the evening.
Good for you! That is a long hike when it is all steeply uphill!
When I was little and my father drove me to the Hanging Stone, everything was wild and secret, but now there are paths covered with stairs, stairs are installed, signs all around indicating where you are ... romance disappears ...
I hate that and the older I get, the more often it happens! The wilderness disappears a little more each day.
I fully share your feelings, but we cannot do anything here, modern life is trying to make a comfortable even the wildest corners ...
The same has happened here. Even the wildlife isn't wild any more. They have been fitted with ear tags, leg bands and radio collars so that they can be managed.
Life is the same everywhere...

Very nice post
Thank you, @dogewm :)
Stunning scenery. That boulder is stubborn one isn't it. It actually looks to be part of the mountain beneath it is you follow the veining. Weathering could have eroded it to its current state. I could be wrong though.
Thanks for showing us this beautiful area and the hanging stone!
You are right, this boulder is very stubborn.
