Grauer Stein
Grauer Stein submitted by Roana : The Grauer Stein (grey stone) (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Grauer Stein (grey stone) is a marker stone which in former times was probably a standing stone. It is situated at a crossing of some old high roads in the Taunus.

Today it is used by some pagans at the traditional feasts.
