Tips

There are many myths about the large boulder made of reddish Scandinavian granite. The three noticeable depressions on its surface are said to be traces of a witch's spinning wheel. Or were they even containers for liquid offerings? The capstone of the Bargloyer Steinkiste is said to have similar notches.

A dowsing examination revealed a high concentration of energy. Allegedly also the reason why so many different herbs grow around the boulder. The assumption that this is the place where wise women made remedies at the time does not seem so completely absurd.

The witch stone is said to have a positive effect on people because of its energies. The opposite is said of the nearby, well-hidden "witch's bed". For the esoteric among you - first go to the witch's bed and get rid of the old energies and then recharge your batteries at the witch stone 😉
