Guided Story
Imagine standing here, right next to one of the oldest monuments in North Rhine-Westphalia. This menhir, towering over you, was erected around 4,000 years ago. Look closely at its weathered surface, marked by time. There are tales that stones like this were once used for ancient rituals. Perhaps offerings were made here, or tribal gatherings took place. If you turn around, you'll see the outline of the Kaiserpfalz in the distance. It tells a story from a different era, yet the sense of history is palpable here, where different times seem to converge.
