ladrin visited on 25th Feb 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Beautifully carved stone standing in the quiet edge of small bavarian town Schonwald. It is not quiet clear what was his original purpose. Selected from existing theories it can be later christianized ancient menhir, old germanic burial stone above the grave, medieval cross or propitiatory stone or boundary stone. In any case it is about 120cm tall granite slab of maximum width 95cm. The stone is known as a "Müllerstein" (simply "Millstone"). On both sides it has quite sophisticated engravings of crosses. According to local legend the stone is standing in the place where two boys from the local mill ...that is what its name came from... were killed in a bloody fight for a girl. Another two stones should indicate burial place of those millers and they are located less then one km from here in the woods.

Possibly an ancient standing stone, later christianised. On its front and backside crosssigns are engraved.

600m to the north two smaller stones could be found, also with crosssigns on their frontsides.
