A work of art that makes science come alive... that's what it says in the explanation of the basalt block

On the plateau to the stalactite cave, the devil's cave in Steinau, is now the "memorial stone". The two-tonne phonolite boulder from Rhön basalt comes from near the Wasserkuppe.
But what is special about the stone is the ornamentation, which is supposed to bring together the diverse interlocking cycles of our world, such as the water, soil, wind or blood circulation and to make them tangible by grasping with the hands.
It is left to the imagination of those interested to interpret the cycles.
