    The consecration site, consisting of 32 stone monuments, was built in 1936 to celebrate the 75th anniversary.
    Founding festival of the Fuchsturm Society and the 14th federal festival of the Thuringian mountain, castle and forest communities. At the same time, it offers a unique geological overview of the main types of rock found in Thuringia, which represent the periods of the past geological eras.
