The excellent signage for the Weckemilchschüsselstein (Wake Milk Bowl Stone) and its intriguing name pique our curiosity and heighten our anticipation of a bowl-shaped experience, which then turns out to be a large, somewhat forlorn sandstone boulder with a few erosion marks. Striking enough to inspire fairy tales and stories.

According to the pious legend, St. Elisabeth fed the animals of the forest with Weck and milk here... if you really want to, you can and may imagine it like this.

Strictly speaking, it is a block of quartzite that was left here, strikingly shaped, by the receding glaciers of the Ice Age.
