Unless otherwise stated, this image is the copyright of the submitter. Contact them for permission to reproduce it. | | | Description | The large granite erratic from Scandinavia seen from the NE. The surface is overgrown by lichen, but shows at least 20 (other sources say 30 and there obviously were several more) weathered cup-marks from the Neolithic or Bronze age.
Size and depth varying.
4 cupmarks are in a square-like arrangement.
“Hexenstein” means “Stone of the Witch” / “Witch's Stone”.
Rock art is comparatively rare in this area and mainly limited to cup-marks. Nevertheless an impressive site.
