Druidenhain Rock Labyrinth

The boulders set up in long rows have long inspired the imagination of visitors to this mystical place in the middle of the forest. According to popular belief, this should have been a place of worship for Celtic priests (Druids). However, this has not been proven scientifically. But even so it makes fun for young and old to meander through the rocks.

Due to the unusual rock formations and the excited imagination of the visitors, at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century probably this forest area got its name. The popular belief is that it was a place of worship for Celtic priests (the Druids). However, this could not be confirmed from a scientific point of view. In 1989, an investigation was carried out by the Geological Institute of the University of Erlangen. A place of worship could not be confirmed.
The mayor of Wohlmannsgesees came to the conclusion at the end of the 20th century that it was a prehistoric place of worship. However, this could not be conclusively confirmed. since no human traces were found in the Druid grove. Other assumptions made by geologists are that the Druid grove could be a collapsed cave system or a quarry used in the Middle Ages. The assumption of a quarry is also close because the ruins Neideck is not far away.
Whatever this place is, an old quarry, a whim of nature or a place of worship. We will probably never know. Maybe it was used by the Druids because of these special rock formations and the Druids certainly had some fantasy ;-)
This place has its own charisma for every visitor.

The rocks are very exciting for little children
