You can see the concrete flat surface there now.
I know of only one Stair that leads to nowhere. As far as I know it is still there.
But various? Maybe you mean others stairs? Can you elaborate?

Over the last few years Iâve seen videos where players go to these stairs. I only remember two or three different videos, and to be honest they may all have referenced the same stairs but there was only one video where coordinates were given so that is the only set I have ever visited. Thatâs probably the one you reference and Iâd love to see it again. Iâve looked several times based on the hazy memory of the topography, but never found it again. Even though Iâve been in the Bear Cave many times, sometimes I have trouble finding it too, so my memory isnât a trusted companion. âVariousâ was too strong a word.

Btw. these stairs actually lead to death. Climb to the top and you get hurt.
Just like the water in the Masskar Cave get you hurt in you fall in.

Yes I remember there would be an explosion when you climb to the top lol. Maybe thatâs wrong I donât know. Are the stairs on the map?

Yes. The stairs are in Mountain region Orange letters, East of Granhojden.

Thank you! So crazy, I was in the open area where the cave tunnel is not long ago and had no idea I was so close to the stairs. I havenât been to them in probably three years lol.

I am now also including the so called âGlacial Erraticsâ to the next update of the map, see above. Basically to find out how far they have spread over Ăstertörn. So far I only found the typical big ones in two regions, but I am still doing my research runs to see if more regions have them. I only add the big rocks with the sharp edges as Glacial Erratics because they differ from the native Ăstertörn rock type. So not the bigger rounded boulders.

Wikipedia quote: âA glacial erratic is a glacially deposited rock differing from the type of rock native to the area in which it rests. Erratics, which take their name from the Latin word errare (âto wanderâ), are carried by glacial ice, often over distances of hundreds of kilometres.â
Sun set or rise at the largest erratic in the world in Canada.

Iâll be really looking forward to this latest geographic study of Ăstertörn, it sounds fascinating to see how youâre mapping these features out across the regions. Good to know the distinction between the rounder boulders and the erratics. That clears things up for me as Iâm still on the lookout for that solitary one with the tree growing near it and you said to find other erratics nearby.
Also, I have to say that screenshot you shared above had me doing a double take. For a moment I honestly thought you were running GZ on Unreal 5 with the way it looked! ! And on a lighter note, I even managed to slip the term âGlacial Erraticsâ into conversation this morning to describe an ex girlfriend.

I will be uploading it soon. I still want people to have a go the âguess-where-it-is-picturesâ, before revealing it all.
Edit:
I found another âstone circleâ that I at least hadnât on my map yet. The stones from this one look a little bit smaller than the ones we are used too.
Anyway, I kind of miss people posting interesting things they found, like they did when the forum was still booming. It will be on the map too next update.

My Spidey sense is tingling that there are bots about. Caution.

Just a quick notice that I added some made up names to the map, on the 2 undeveloped east Islands.
They are just for my enjoyment and are not real destinations. It will be on the shared map with the next update.
See here what I did.
