The Sinusstein is one of the advertised places of power in the Eifel.
Also interesting are the lines and depressions on the stone next to the obvious sinus mark (see photo with marking). I've been there many times and overlooked these additional lines for a long time.

Places full of power and charisma
Easily recognizable: the eponymous shape reminiscent of a sine sign. Probably served as a calendar. The cross line on the sine stone shows exactly the highest position of the sun at the beginning of summer. Simultaneous meaning as a cult stone. With a compass, the electromagnetic vibrations of the rock might just make the needle dance. Many people experience a strong energetic interaction with this mystical cult stone. Therefore, try with leisure and openness whether this place is a charged place of power for you.

Prehistoric cult stone, which is now clearly visible again after restoration in 2022.
