The stretch of stone (otherwise known as Tučkinė) is impressive in its length - it stretches as much as 1.65 km on the slope of the terrace. This stretch formed 10-14 thousand. years, in the final stages of glacial melting. To the east of the rock stretch was a glacial lake, and on the west side was a melting glacier which was on the shore of the lake. At the site of the sheltered lake there is now a terrace and its slope coincides with the Stones. The density of the stones reaches up to 30 boulders in 16 square (4x4m) meters. The stretch ends with a gritty cone of footnotes.
