    Hiking

    Gutter and bowl stone in Unter-Altenstein
    Cup stones, bowl stones or small bowl stones, often popularly called sacrificial stones and similar, are usually unmoved and otherwise unworked stones that have supposedly artificial bowl-shaped depressions. Cup stones are widespread. The depressions can have occurred naturally or have been worked in by humans. Their often popular interpretation is often controversial.
