Hunger stones

  • A hunger stone is a type of hydrological landmark common in Central Europe. Hunger stones serve as famine memorials and warnings. They are believed to have developed in the pre-instrumental era of Europe.
  • These stones remind the present generation of the ancient great famine. It is believed that the ancestors absorbed these in the rivers after suffering from famine resulting from the severe level of the rivers.
  • Many of these Hunger Stones have a unique carving that alerts people that the availability of food will be affected if the river reaches this point of water level.
  • Europe is suffering from the worst drought in half a millennium according to the European Commission. Rivers have dried up so much that ‘hunger stones’ have been revealed.
