The Counts of Giech used to receive guests for hunting dinners and other celebrations on the stone benches of the Herrenstein near Buchau. The high seat was probably built in the second half of the 18th century.

I became aware of this through the crime novel of the same name. Very mystical place, you can almost feel the past.
