The Tater Stone at Flyndersø – a tribute beneath the open sky
At Flyndersø stands the Tater Stone – an impressive 11-ton granite boulder measuring H: 1.85 m, W: 1.85 m, D: 1.30 m. The stone was crafted by stonemason Palle Jepsen and unveiled in 1984.
It bears a poetic inscription honoring nomadic groups and their presence in the region. The stone stands as a symbol of those whose stories were never written in official records, but who lived and loved in the heath-covered hills around Flyndersø.
Inscription: If your lineage carries nomadic blood
you search in vain for their memory in the gardens of the dead
thus this stone beneath the blue sky in the brown heath hills
