Frauenstein
Frauenstein submitted by AlexHunger : Large 2.4 Meter tall standing stone in the hills and woods above Heubach. Very close to Taufstein. Believed to have been part of ancient grave.

The site has been used since 1000 CE for christian ceremonies such as baptisms. (Vote or comment on this photo)
