The visitor has to put the head into the hole of the stone and breath out with a humming tone. The sound is supposed to be echoed from the stone back towards the visitor, as explained by an information panel. The echoed sounds are supposed to be felt within the body of the visitor.
The limestone itself has a weight of 11 t and stems from the quarry Seltenbergs in Oege/Hagen. It is between 360 and 400 million years old.
The Summstein is situated in the Hagen Open-air Museum since 2011.
