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

      The heath graves are a natural monument, as if showing the last ice age. They are made of quartz and belong to a vein in the Meissner granidiorite massif.
      Granodiorite is a siliceous plutonic rock.
      They have been called pagan graves since the 19th century. Secret meetings and gatherings were held here during various periods of time. They are also considered and can be felt as places of power.
