Stone Age menhirs right on the border with the closed nature reserve. Accessible via a path and a bridge over a small stream, the menhirs stand between stream and meadow. A sign explains the origin.

Nice that there is now a sign and a way. We used to walk here across the meadow. You can see the stones in the photos.

On the eastern edge of the Scheftheimer Wiesen nature reserve, on the so-called "Hirtenwiese" on both banks of the Ruthsenbach, is a complex with originally 14 upright granite megaliths, which were known for a long time, but were only excavated and archaeologically at the end of the 1960s was documented. On the information board on the small bridge, which allows access to the shepherd's meadow from the east, the megalithic setting, which may be the remains of a «Cromlec'h», a Celtic stone circle, is described in more detail and dates back to the third millennium before ours Dated calendar.
