Standing Stone (Menhir) in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
A menhir in the town Grevesmühlen called Langer Stein (long stone). A menhir is so rare in this area an till today i did not even know of its existence. Thanks to a road closure i had to drive a different way and came by chance past this site. She is 1.9 meters tall (above ground level). The first record is from 1568. The nearby field was named after the standing stone back then. Today the field is an industrial area. The road through this industrial area is named after this field and standing stone. The roads name is Langer Steinschlag which is translated: long stone field. I am so happy that the menhir still stands in its original position and has not been cleared. Today the site is protected an can be visited. The access is great and even for disabled people no problem. In the nearby fuel station you can get a great coffee and enjoy the stone whit it.
