Admiring it, yes; photographing, yes; picking, no. Others should be able to enjoy it too.

The White Stone is approximately 6.5 meters long, 3.5 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high; it weighs about 50 tons. It originated over 30 million years ago as part of a sandstone ridge and was transported by glaciers during the Ice Age to its current location in the Bocksvenn fen. People lived in the area around it as early as 8,000 years ago. Hearths, tools, and flint fragments have been found nearby, indicating that the stone served as a prominent landmark in the landscape from an early period. Over the millennia, it has been reinterpreted time and again – as a boundary stone, cult stone, sacrificial stone, or meeting place. To this day, the White Stone is considered mystical and fascinating, as numerous myths and legends have grown up around it.

The modern observation tower, approximately 30 meters high, was built in 2014. From its platform, one can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of surrounding mountains such as the Hohe Acht, the Aremberg, the Michelsberg, and the Nürburgring when visibility is good. Information panels explain the directions of the view and make orientation easier.

Daffodils prefer the damp, nutrient-poor valley meadows along small streams such as the Holzwarche and its tributaries. These areas were traditionally mowed late in the season, allowing the plants to grow, flower, and disperse their seeds undisturbed. This traditional meadow management has fostered a unique ecosystem over centuries, which is now a protected nature reserve.

The raised bog, located south of Ormont in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate, not only offers hikers variety on their walk, but above all a protected habitat for flora and fauna.

...a beautiful walking path along these meadows. Beautiful views all year round in the Oleftal, in April/May with a yellow carpet of flowers. 👌

Behind the village of Mürringen, not far from the German border, in a wetland (Bocksvenn), you'll find a white-gray quartzite boulder, the so-called White Stone. The "White White Stone" is a Tertiary quartzite, a block of rock hardened by silica, some of which can still be found on the Eifel plateau, leveled by erosion, at elevations above 550 meters. Due to its hardness, this stone has not weathered like the other "young rock" in the surrounding area. At 692 meters above sea level, the White Stone is the second highest point in Belgium.
