    Hiking

    Interesting stone blocks at a quiet rest area with a bench, a bit away from the direct hiking trail 😉
    however, it is well signposted 👍

    A beautiful and interesting place.
    It's a great place to take a break.
    Seating is available.


    Heathen Graves:
    These stone blocks are remnants of the
    Ice Age. They are made of quartz and
    belong to a vein in the Meissen Granodiorite Massif.


    (Granodiorite =
    a plutonic rock containing silica).


    Since the 19th century, they have been called
    Heathen Graves.
