Mini Stonehenge
The Sonnwendplatz between Ermingen and Allewind is 600 meters above sea level. The Mini-Stonehenge has been located here since 1989. Representatives of the University of Ulm calculated the position of the stones precisely, so that the sun's rays shine through the stone gates exactly twice a year at the solstice.
Magnificent views over the Oberland, with the foehn to the Alps.

The Sonnwendplatz in Ermingen - the MTB highlight by Benny Scheiffele - now also for the racing cyclists among us 😉 It's a shame that with Komoot you can't assign several sports to one highlight (08/2020)!
Once at the summer and winter solstice, the sun should send its rays through the large stone gate in the morning. The stone circle was only built in 1989, according to calculations by the University of Ulm.
The traditional spark fire is lit here every Saturday after Mardi Gras. I have to look at that too!
