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...

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.
