    Hiking

    The boundary stone is designed as an irregular pentagon and is about 1.30 m high. On the sides it bears the inscription of the respective cadastral communities of Feuersbrunn, Engabrunn, Etsdorf, Straß and Gösing and is dated, among other things, with the year 1678.

    The following can be found on Wikipedia about the historical background: "Lying on the property of two different lords, Lorenz Altman and his son from Kleinweikersdorf were found beaten to death on February 17, 1676. The dispute over which lord should take over the dead probably triggered the setting of the pentagonal stone"

    The borders of five municipalities meet here, as can be clearly seen from the stone; each side points to one of the places.
