    At full moon, fairies dance around the stone and the stone begins to spin

    The Langenstein is not far from the Gauchmatt rest area. In fact, it's not a menhir at all. But it is said that on a full moon in the moonlight, white women meet to dance.

    Langstein means long stone.
    According to scientists, the block was extracted approximately 1km from its location.
    Its erection dates from the Celtic period, around 560 BC.
    It was rediscovered in 1904 lying on the ground by Fritz Keller, an industrialist from the region.
    It was straightened in 1906.
    A host of legends are linked to this Menhir. Listing them here would be too long.
