Weißer Stein
Weißer Stein submitted by Alta-Falisa : Weißer Stein, September 2016. Stay on the wooden path, as the stone lies in a marsch. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A random stone on the height of a plateau, sole visible exemplar for that type of stone.

Although the stone lies in Belgium, it is more easily reached from (50.4138,6.3664) in Germany, along the road B.265, a the T-junction with road L.110. From that T-junction, it is a 400-m walk.

Don't be mislead by big signposts inviting you to a "Weißer Stein" on the Eastern (German) side of the road : it is a starting point for Nordic sky trail, not at all the stone described here.

The Natural reserve park is a water reservoir : all motor-vehicles are prohibited.

Detailed explanatory board nearby (in German, French, Dutch).
