Hiking

At the time of the "Lutheran activity" only a few people in Weißenbach attended Sunday mass. The majority of the residents gathered in the Star Forest, among other places, and heard the biblical stories there. The large granite block, known as a sermon stone due to the circumstances described, can be found at a place where several paths intersect. For this reason, it can be assumed that followers of the Lutheran doctrine came here from all directions to gather there.

...watch out!!!... I almost walked past ;)

Well, it's not really worth it. Forestry work is currently underway there.

The stone is rather inconspicuous, but the history of it is interesting and a quiet, beautiful place
