A prolonged drought lowered the level of the Elbe River so much that the so-called Hunger Stone, one of the oldest hydrological monuments in Central Europe, appeared in Decin, Czech Republic on August 18, 2022. It heralded the famine years - reduced harvests due to drought. The stone is engraved with the years, the oldest from 1616, and inscriptions, the most distinct of which are the old German "Wenn du mich siehst, dann weine"
