Finding the stones that are not right next to the road is many times a task itself. A worthy investment is Regio's Atlas on Estonian Roads. The map has all larger stones marked on it... also the ones which are not big enough for climbing.
The Google Earth file below contains the coordinates of some of the Estonian boulders. You can download the list of the stones to your Google Earth below and running the file. Before doing so you must install Google Earth to your computer.
The smaller circle for a stone means that the stone has been climbed. A square means that there is water at the base of the stone but that on low sea level or in early spring before the ice has molten it might be climable (or also other times if you are into shallow water bouldering). The larger mark means that Ruslan had not heard of whether people have climbed that stone. Feel free to update and upload new versions of the file.
Before heading out for a new stone it is a good idea to print a more detailed location of the stone from Eelis. This applies also if you want to discover stones that are not listed in Ruslan's file. Just go to: www.eelis.ee -> üksikobjektid -> Üksikobjektide andmestik -> 1.3 Rändrahn, kivikülv -> select the stone you are interested in.
Help in deciding which stones might be interesting you could get from "Eesti 100 Rändrahnu" book or try your luck by combining the list of Estonia's largest stones and the pictures in wikipedia.
