Steinmännchen, Steinmänner, Steinmandl or Steinmanderl, also stone doves, are stones stacked on top of one another in the form of small hills or turrets. They are an archaic form of the signpost, but are still being erected around the world today. The marking is intended to facilitate orientation, particularly in impassable and confusing terrain - such as mountains, high mountains, steppes and deserts.
