    Hiking

    In the Fichtelgebirge, on various rock surfaces, kettle- or basin-like depressions can be found in the granite, which are popularly called Druid bowls, sacrificial cauldrons, or witch cauldrons. The superstition among the population attributed them to the druids, that Celtic priestly caste, who are said to have offered animal or human sacrifices to the gods there.
    This moss-covered druid bowl, located in the Hochwald behind the Silberhaus guesthouse, is easy to find.
    Showing Translation
    A "Druid's Bowl," formed by granite weathering, sits on a rock in the forest above the Silberhaus (Silver House), near the forest path. Unfortunately, it had been hidden in the thicket for some time and is now completely covered in moss.
