According to legend, the "Seven Stones" point to a mother with her six children who froze to death on an icy night on their way home.
The "Seven Stones" are easy to miss, as only the small obelisk protrudes from the heather bushes. There is a bench in the entrance area as a small orientation aid.
Update: The "Seven Stones" are now easier to find. A sign with the legend was mounted 👏👍👏

According to legend, a farmer's wife and her 6 children explored here in a snow storm. The seven were found dead the next day and the seven stones were erected in their memory.
