Also known as “Corna di Scalvino” or “Corna del Màsa,” this erratic boulder-easily recognizable by its characteristic central cleft-has spanned the millennia, becoming the protagonist of popular legends about witches and ancient magic rituals.
This is a large rock of Verrucano conglomerate, transported during the great ice ages by one of the two branches of the Brembo glacier, either the Olmo or Branzi glacier.
When the towering ice sheets that once covered the mountains, grazing the peaks and reaching as far as Zogno, receded, the boulder was deposited exactly where we can still admire it today.
