Among the many towers and mushroom rocks in the Reinhausen Forest, the baptismal font stands close to a well-traveled path. It is currently quite overgrown, which is why it is signposted. It is worth taking a short detour to this natural monument via the small forest path. In its fairly regular shape, it actually resembles a simple medieval baptismal font.

The stone looks great. One is almost afraid he will tip over.

The font looks like two meteorites that have fallen from space.
