It is estimated that several thousand stone circles were built in Europe in the Middle Stone Age. Many of them have disappeared over time, e.g. due to weathering or the formation of moors, others were used as material. Today only a few hundred remain.

There are three stone circles next to each other here, a fourth in the forest a little way away, with a total of 30 menhirs (up to 1.60m high). There is even said to have been a fifth. The age is unclear, but at least people who died later in the Iron Age (750 BC to 1000 AD) are said to have been buried here.

Wikipedia has an explanation of the calendar function, according to which the sunrise at the winter solstice, the 13 lunar months (Small Stone Dance), the 28 days of the month (Great Stone Dance), the 13x28=364 +1 (extra stone)=365 days of the year and the leap year solution (every four years - four additional stones) -->365 1/4 days are measurable/represented. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boitiner_Steintanz
