Tips
The history of this place and its name is explained on the board. According to tradition, at the end of the 18th, citizens from Geschwand sought refuge from Napoleonic troops on the Franzosenstein. However, they were discovered, brutally slaughtered and buried in this place. Approach the square with the bike from above, from below you have to go up about 50m.

Approaching from above, as suggested by Rombea, makes the most sense. The descent is short, but narrow, steep and rocky.
