A German tourist returned volcanic stones from Spain’s Timanfaya Park, citing bad luck, after taking them despite warnings.
A German tourist returned volcanic stones he took from Spain’s Timanfaya National Park after claiming they brought him bad luck and a personal tragedy.
In a handwritten note, he cited local legends warning that removing rocks from the Montañas del Fuego area invites misfortune.
He asked park officials to scatter the stones back at the "hot coals" site where they were taken.
Authorities confirmed the return and reiterated that removing natural materials is illegal, punishable by fines up to $3,400, as it disrupts fragile ecosystems by harming soil stability and native habitats.
The incident highlights ongoing efforts to protect the park’s unique volcanic environment and educate visitors on the environmental and cultural impact of taking natural resources.
