mystical stones

Der Stiefel - The Boot

This lies a few metres away from the Teufelstisch, but unlike its smaller companion it has been naturally formed from the coloured sandstone. Both stones are at the top of an imposing hill and remains of implements found nearby indicate that they have been the object of human attention for well over 6,000 years. The toe of the boot points to the Spellenstein. We can only guess what significance the three stones had in the lives of our stone age ancestors.

  3. Ta collection de menhirs est vraiment impressionnante, je ne savais pas qu'ils sont si nombreux dans ta region. Mysterieuses constructions, l'enigme du temps - on ne saura probablement jamais quelle etait leur signification.

  5. INCREIBLE!
    sabes, por la forma que tiene se me figura un poco a la parte de abajo de la victoria alada de Samotracia, en dimensiones distintas, claro, pero por la forma se parece un poquito. Es impresionante.
