Unfortunately, the sign with the information can hardly be read, bowl stones probably served as ceremonial stones or sacrificial stones

The bowl stone from Penkun is easy to find. It is located about 500 m northwest of Penkun Castle. In Penkun, turn off the Sommersdorfer Chaussee into the street "Am Bahnhof". After 160 m the road turns north, here you go 50 m straight ahead on a slab path and then have the Schalenstein to the left of the path under a small canopy. The stone has numerous, very recognizable cups on its top.

As shell stones, cup stones or bowl stones, often called sacrificial stones and the like, usually undisplaced and otherwise unprocessed stones are mentioned that have supposedly artificial cup-shaped depressions. Cup stones are very common. The recesses can be created naturally or have been worked in by people. Their often popular interpretation is often controversial.
