The Long Stones on the Stoppelsberg have a very long history. They are made of sandstone and are around 245 million years old. They were probably originally formed by river deposits. Around 25 million years ago, the long stones are said to have been formed when one of the active Rhön volcanoes broke the sandstone into the square pieces we see today. The long stones are located around 850 meters southwest of the summit of the Stoppelberg.
The stones have always been admired with enthusiasm. A drawing on the stones is attributed to the Neolithic period. The royal coat of arms on one of the stones is much easier to assign. It belonged to Landgrave Friedrich I of Hesse-Kassel.
