Tips

Hunsbuckel 🇺🇦

June 18, 2022

A little off the path is the erect boulder, which you would quickly overlook without the sign on the path. In addition to curiosity, caution is called for, otherwise it will hit you in the overgrown ditch if you try to read the sign.
Menhirs (Breton maen "stone" and hir "long") are also known as menhirs* and are used as landmarks and markers.

* The original name "Riesenstein" became "Hünenstein" via "Riese=Hüne" which is often understood as "Hühnerstein" and became "Hinkelstein" via the slang term "Hinkel" for chickens.

A little off the way. In summer, when everything is overgrown, easy to miss

A 182 cm high menhir from the Neolithic or Bronze Age. And there's a saga for free.

The so-called long stone dates from long before Christ ... but is said to have been in a different place earlier.
