    One wonders what this huge stone trough is doing here in the middle of the forest. An attempt to explain it can be found here:

    indiana-stones.de/mystische-st%C3%A4tten/mystische-st%C3%A4tten-im-elsa%C3%9F/cuve-de-pierre

    Oral tradition says that the trough was commissioned by a pastor from Marmoutier Abbey. He intended to put it in his basement. However, when the work was done, the workers were no longer able to use the trough because of his Weight, so he was left in the forest

    From an archaeological point of view, the trough served as a water reservoir for the inhabitants of the Celtic oppidum on the Brotsch, which is dated to the Téne period (500-100 BC).

    On the other hand, the break marks and traces of processing are supposed to indicate a medieval technique. The secret will probably not be solved anytime soon ... "
