Leaf-like groove area with a diameter of over 2 m from a very large pitch oil stone in Hundsdorf near Gutau, Upper Austria.
Resin-rich pine wood (pine) was erected above the pitch-oil stone and raffled like a pile in the absence of air. In earlier times there were pitch oil stones intended for pitch burning. The pitch oil stones known only from the eastern Mühlviertel are used to extract pitch which is used as wound medicine.

A particularly beautiful pitch oil stone in the meadow, just below the road, tells of earlier healing methods.
