    Very interesting and beautiful.

      At the high pillar of rock there is a "blood groove" that may have been used for Celtic rituals.

        We love legendary places deep in the forest.

          Waypoint on the premium hiking trail "Felsenweg". There is an information board and seating. For a longer rest I would wait until the lookout point in Scheiden.

            Celtic place of worship where, according to the information boards, human sacrifices also took place :-(

                Beautiful cult place under old trees, circular stone setting is probably a modern work.

                    Great rocks in the middle of the forest. You can find a story about it on the boards.
