Log Text: We just caught oblique glimpses of it from the road below. Once at the horse itself, it is surprising just how small the cuts in the turf are. I was expecting them to be measured in yards, but instead you could measure them in feet, or inches in some places. I'm sure there are better places to view it, but it was great to see the way it was made up close.

Log Text: Made another attempt to find the menhir, this time in winter... Success!
Note the updated coordinates, as you need to get pretty close to see the stone in the brushy woods.

Hunnenstein (Dossenbach) submitted by Faseso on 11th Nov 2016. Hunnenstein near Dossenbach. The surrounding landscape is also of importance here. There seems to have been some a henge, ritual site - nearby is also the Menhir of Dossenbach. There could have been a connection of the two.

Heidenstein (Schwörstadt) submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Sep 2005. Heidenstein - Schwörstadt (Front)
Front upright orthostat with "Soul Hole" and only remainder of former Dolmen. 1.9 Meter tall and about 3 meters wide and dated to about 2500 BC.
The cap stone was alledgedly carted away by the local blacksmith several decades ago. The rear side shows traces of fire due to the burning of trash. Archeologists have marked out the outline of the rest of the dolmen with bricks and set up an information sign.
It and the Toten Mann are the southernmost Dolmen...

Log Text: We first read the information panel, outlining the excavation and finds, and then on the "inside" of the dolmen we found some freshly laid flowers, which made the dry numbers or excavated skeletal remains in the information seem a little more human.

Log Text: I noticed that these rather unassuming menhirs were on a website for Brittany tourism, so we decided to check them out as they were on our route. While they are nice, it is a bit of a mystery why the website would chose this site as one of about. five megalithic sites in all of Brittany to be featured.

Log Text: The walk from the parking area to the menhirs was simply spectacular. A cool summer morning out of the hot sun, surrounded by ferns and mosses - It reminded me of my beloved Oregon. But Oregon does not have menhirs!
