Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

Hiking

The lonely 3.60 meter high menhir Danthine stands alone in the landscape here. According to our guide Rolf, the menhir is out of place. Originally it stood somewhere in the “Field of the Long Stone”. Nevertheless, it is now a landmark in the wider area along the Barvaux-Erezée track. Which archaeologist 2.0 can find its 'roots'.

Hiking

The menhir (from Breton "men" = stone and "hir" = long) is a monolith, not as wide as it is high, erected vertically and set in the ground. Was it placed as a grave marker, as part of a solar cult, or as a striking boundary marker? Many hypotheses have already been reviewed, but none have been able to provide a definitive answer.
