Teufelstisch - Devil's Table
Another menhir. According to legend, this stone served as a table upon which a giant ate his human victims. The giant used the Spellenstein to sharpen the knife needed to chop up his victims. When a sortie of humans dared attack him in his mountain lair, he chased them away and threw the Spellenstein after them, which landed point downwards in the position we find it today.
What a nice story .... ;-).
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were so many menhirs around.
I saw this photo and thought ... ah ha I know what that is ... it's a menhir ... thanks for the links the other day.
ReplyDeleteLegends like this are so interesting.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting tale. He doesn't sound like he had very good table manners.

I really love these mystic tales. Pretty scary, isn't it? (;
