Findling Holenstein
Findling Holenstein submitted by wirzroland : Findling Holenstein 2 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Stone in Bern. With the "Holenstein" - the largest specimen in the region - the mysticism that emanated from these stones can still be felt today. However, many smaller boulders were split up by Christians in the Middle Ages and thus demystified. Some of the break points are very clearly visible.
