Glacial Erratic in Schwyz
Large Galcial erratic on top of other stones and shaped like a dolmen. 492 Meters from Tümmlen Stone Row.
There's a wikipedia article on this stone: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druidenstein_(Morschach)
And the village's website has an article on it too: http://www.morschach.ch/de/portrait/geschichte/
Remarks/visit notes by Tetramorpheus: The wiki article suggests it wasn't of Druidic origin, on this I'm uncertain, but can say that I did get a feeling of ancientness and times now gone when I was cycling through the village past all the old stones, and especially when I past this small cave feature in a wooded hill at 46.98672850917705, 8.616049778324218. That's just my experience though, maybe I was tapping into the feeling of Danu's ancientness instead of an old civilisation.
