A special place: very steep in history and nice to rest (seating area + single bench). This is "undoubtedly a sacred stone from ancient pagan times. The massive colossus may have played an important role almost 3,000 years ago in the orbit of an Iron Age ancestor cult." To the right of the menhir: a well-preserved boundary stone with an "Otterberg abbot's staff. The left [boundary stone], only preserved as a stump, once bore the inscription 'Falkenstein'."
