A place worth seeing with the "Upper Palatinate Stonehenge", here you can experience history. In an experiment it should be shown how the famous "Stonehenge in England" came about. The action was accompanied by a BR film team. The three granite stones weighing around 40 tons were erected with pure muscle power within two days and now form this special attraction near Kulz. There are seating groups and a display board with explanations about the project. Great place for a break.

In 1994, 200 volunteers from THW and the fire brigade erected mighty granite pillars in two days, using only Stone Age tools, and placed a cover stone on the model in Amesbury (Stonehenge). He alone weighs more than 40 tons. Complicated, lifting such a weight only by muscle power so many meters! Unlike the English Stone Age people, however, the Kulzer did not have to drag their granite blocks hundreds of kilometers, but instead they were given "free construction site". For 25 years, the Upper Palatinate is now richer by this useless, but beautiful stone sculpture.
