The exact GPS coordinates are: Lat: 48.196650 Long: 8.377780

This 4 m high, 3 m wide and 2 m deep rock has a 20 cm wide and 14 cm deep hole in the middle of its front which looks like it was drilled. It seems to be formed as well at the side. Unfortunately I could not have a closer look at the details and it’s back because in May it stood on a cow meadow, surrounded by a seasonal fence.
Perhaps it’s better to visit it in autumn or winter, I suppose that the fence will be removed then.
I took the indications of size of a book.

Dieser 4 m hohe, 3 m breite und 2 m tiefe Steinblock weist auf der Vorderseite recht mittig ein kreisrundes, 20 cm breites und 14 cm tiefes Loch auf, welches aussieht, als wäre es gebohrt worden. Auch an der Seite scheint er bearbeitet zu sein. Genauere Details sowie die Rückseite konnten nicht in Augenschein genommen werden, da der Block im Mai nicht zugänglich war. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt stand er inmitten einer Weide mit Rindern, umgeben mit einem vermutlich saisonalen Zaun. Vielleicht besucht man ihn besser im Spätherbst oder Winter, ich vermute, daß dann der Zaun weggemacht wird.
Die Größenangaben habe ich einem Buch entnommen.
