The Boitin Stone Dance is one of the most famous archaeological monuments in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It consists of four stone circles. The stone circles are located in the Tarnow district of Boitin, near the town of Bützow - in the forest, on a straight stretch between Tarnow and Zernin (approx. 2.2 km). The Boitin Stone Dance consists of three stone circles that are close together and a stone circle about 100 m opposite. The position of the stone circles and information about them can be seen on an information board on site. The large stone circle consists of 9 stones. Some stones have names, such as "Kanzel". The granite stone that tapers upwards, with the vertical row of holes, is called the "Brautlade". A shelter offers shelter in bad weather. Seating invites you to linger.

It is very nice to observe the stars here without any light pollution. In the evenings, this is one of the quietest places you can imagine. The only downside: if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, you can smell the stench of the turkey farm.

This is a stargazing spot in M/V, one of ten in the area, well located due to the low "light pollution" at night from cities and industry, because there is nothing else here but "landscape", unfortunately even stars were only visible a few because the moon was too bright and there were too many clouds, but above us there was a spookily beautiful sky with a white flashing moon... beautiful! 😃

It is estimated that several thousand stone circles were built in Europe in the Middle Stone Age. Many of them have disappeared over time, e.g. due to weathering or the formation of moors, others were used as material. Today only a few hundred remain. There are three stone circles next to each other here, a fourth in the forest a little way away, with a total of 30 menhirs (up to 1.60m high). There is even said to have been a fifth. The age is unclear, but at least people who died later in the Iron Age (750 BC to 1000 AD) are said to have been buried here. Wikipedia has an explanation of the calendar function, according to which the sunrise at the winter solstice, the 13 lunar months (Small Stone Dance), the 28 days of the month (Great Stone Dance), the 13x28=364 +1 (extra stone)=365 days of the year and the leap year solution (every four years - four additional stones) -->365 1/4 days are measurable/represented. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boitiner_Steintanz

This is one of three stone circles in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and one of the few in Germany. It is a little off the beaten track, but is well signposted. The stone circle is rather small in size, about 10 - 15 meters in diameter.   The total of 9 stones form a visually intact megalithic structure. The individual stones are up to 1.50m high. It is estimated that several thousand stone circles were built in Europe during the Middle Stone Age. Many of them have disappeared over time, e.g. due to weathering or the formation of bogs, others were used as material. Today only a few hundred remain, and this is one of them. (The Stone Age was so long ago! 9600 - 4300 BC)
