In Germany, due to a prolonged drought and a critical drop in the water level of the Elbe River, the so-called “hunger stones” have been exposed

These historic boulders, which for centuries have been considered harbingers of crop failures and years of famine, have reappeared on the surface, serving as a reminder of the harsh climatic cycles of the past.

According to the DPA news agency and the NTV television channel, one such stone with numerous markings was spotted near the town of Pirna.

More than two dozen dates recording extreme droughts are carved into its surface. The earliest of these dates back to 1707, while the most recent was added relatively recently—during the dry year of 2018.

The hydrological situation remains critical: the Elbe’s water level near Pirna has remained below one meter for quite some time, and in Dresden, the river’s depth has dropped to a critical 54 centimeters.

Low water levels have also affected other waterways in the region, including the Mulde, Spree, Neisse, and Weiße Elster rivers. According to DPA, citing weather forecasts, dry and hot weather with temperatures reaching +34 °C will persist in Saxony in the coming days, so no significant improvement in the rivers’ water levels is expected yet.
