Standing Stone (Menhir) on Bornholm island

The male greeting stone of the island, Hellig HÃ¥gen, is standing in a not very well known area of the Ã…ker Plantation. Please notice the "face," which turns left with sulking mouth and eye in the top middle.

This was commonly used by heath rakers as a meeting point and perhaps for trade. The ‘tray’ or ‘alter’ piece in the front seems a possible later addition ( perhaps medieval, but that is merely a guess on my part)
It is customary to take of your hat and greet the stone ‘ godmorgen Hellig Hågen’ ( good morning Hellig Hågen) . Failure to do so will apparently bring you bad luck.

[Ed.: change applied, thanks for the coordinates / ml] The coordinates are still wrong. In the Open Street map is the stone in the place where the wrong link leads, but there is not the stone. My last comment with coordinates was also not 100% correct. The stone is about 13 meters further southwest. Here in the link with maximum zoom you can even see the stone.

absolut right position: 55.078261, 15.022064
