Seven large stones lie on top of each other like a woollen sack and form a strangely shaped stone tower. It is a freak of nature and has neither cultic nor historical significance. (but who knows...) Nevertheless, it is said that if the sacrificial bowl on the stone is no longer filled with water, disasters of all kinds are expected. The granite stone is surrounded by tall conifers and the view is directed upwards - a **"window to heaven"**, as the mystical sacrificial stone is also known.
