The Purple Stone of Kapsede was investigated as early as 1861 because of as many as 7 cup marks going back to most likely the bronze age. Now a protected archaeological site.

Leave your car here : 56.5914, 21.1157 : the single-lane gravel road visible on satellite maps is far too narrow for a car : you would scratch the paint. Rather walk about 200m until coming across an information board. There, follow the footpath beginning just behing the board through the wood for about 200m, i.e. until the other edge of the wood, and you will see the stone under a medium-voltage electric line. Mind : it may be overgrown. Also : after heavy rain, wear boots (you have been warned !). Incidentally, I have not seen any of these cup marks...

Hi

I have more questions about how to get there.
So do we have to walk up the gravel road seeing on the google maps and then turn left walking along Timlera gravis?

And about the electric fence. What do you mean with that? Is that in front of the rock or is there a cattle ranch? I dont wanna get hurt or break something.
THANKS
