According to its builder Schlieffen, the friendship stone represents a special appreciation of friendship as an old German virtue in the sense of stability. This place was probably considered sacred to him.

Hiking

The Friendship Stone is one of the garden architectural structures in the romantic-sentimental landscape park of the Germanic Garden at Windhausen Castle.
You pass most of these buildings on a leisurely hike on the P11.
