Rock Outcrop in Bavaria
Großer Haberstein is a mighty natural rock formation belongs to bavarian Kösseine massif. Unusual granite blocks lying on top of each other are rising up to the altitude of 848m.
On the top of the "castle-like" rock, the incredible round depressions can be found. These specific geological formations have almost precise circular shape. In the past people called it "sacrificial" or "prophetic" bowls and to be honest, I can understand that. It is hard to believe that these distinctive "holes" had been unnoticed by our spirit-based ancestors..
The place is part of the tourist trail and is very well signposted. On the top of the rock there is a perfect view-point.
