    The Langenstein is not far from the Gauchmatt rest area. In fact, it's not a menhir at all. But it is said that on a full moon in the moonlight, white women meet to dance.

      The Langenstein menhir (a 4-meter-high long stone) was erected in 1904 by a Soultzmatt industrialist, who recognized this block as an overturned menhir.

      Legend tells that on full moon nights, fairies, or White Ladies, come to dance around the Langenstein. During this ceremony, the stone is said to begin spinning!
