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)

The "Dröge Kraug" (dry inn) at this crossroads was a resting place for forest workers and carters a long time ago. They would probably have wanted a pub (tavern) at this point. The old paths are already visible on the Schmettauschen map from 1794. According to this, old highways crossed here. There is a saying about the Drögen Kraug: "If you want to drink and you don't have anything, you should go back. This is the Dröge Kraug. If you have something by you, you can sit back and it's only an hour away. Nothing will bother you in the long run here"
