menhir,  sacrificial table

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.
