Alsbach Hinkelstein
Alsbach Hinkelstein submitted by majoky : The Menhir of Alsbach has definitely been used for sun rites. It aligns with the sunrise over distinct hilltops in the distance on solstice days and equinoxes. The hilltop of the equinox sunrises is called "Dagsberg" ("Day Hill") (straight behind the menhir)..
