Standing Stone (Menhir) in Alsace:Moselle (57)

The Kunkel was a Menhir with a height of 7 meters. It probably has been destroyed in the 19th century. People constructed a christian wayside cross on the menhirs cone end fragment. A lot of legends are existing about the Kunkelstein in Abreschwiller.
