Due to prolonged drought, 'hunger stones' - boulders marked with low water levels and historically considered omens of famine - have reappeared on the Elbe River in Germany. The Elbe's level near Pirna has been below one meter, and in Dresden, it has dropped to 54 centimeters. These stones, inscribed with dates from as early as 1707, serve as a stark reminder of past droughts and their impact on harvests and navigation.
