Das Quellenreuther Steinkreuz
Das Quellenreuther Steinkreuz submitted by ladrin : Standing stone of Quellenreuth.. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Up to 82 cm tall granite standing stone just by the junction near the village of Quellenreuth. The stone is most probably a medieval cross stone. Today it is severely weathered and its true shape can only be guessed.

The site is allegedly the burial place of a military officer or magistrate, though this is unconfirmed. Also nice scary local folk legend about headless night rider is associated with the stone.
