Mountain biking

These resting or resting stones were often common in the past. Heavy loads such as Baskets of agricultural products for the market, handicrafts or coffins as shown here. The congregation waited at this dead stone to move to the cemetery with the priest.

Hiking

Resting stones or rest stones used to be used to place loads or, as in this case, coffins. This is where the mourners put down the deceased's coffin to wait for the pastor to move to the cemetery together.

Resting stones were used to place loads and coffins on. The White Resting Stone was one such resting stone for the dead, because the mourners waited here for the priest to carry the Buckenhof dead to the Tennenloh cemetery under his leadership.
