Tips
It's unbelievable when you imagine that a horse-drawn carriage used to be able to drive through here, as the story tells.

According to legend, the two boulders on the Mühlberg are moving towards each other. Madonna in a rock niche since 1917. Just next to the stone, an approx. 38m deep well was built in ancient times.

There is a photo of these so-called doomsday stones from 1913, when you could still drive through them with a hay wagon or a horse and cart. These two boulders appear to be moving towards each other, but in fact only the top one is moving. Legend has it that if the two massive boulders collide, the world will end.
