Steintanz von Boitin, Stone circle in Tarnow, Germany
Four stone circles rest within a forest near Boitin, with three circles positioned close together and one circle located 200 meters away.
The stone formation dates back to 1200 BCE, serving as an astronomical calendar for tracking seasonal changes and celestial movements.
Local tales narrate how wedding celebration participants turned into stones after disregarding warnings from an elderly man during their festivities.
Marked paths guide visitors through the forest to reach this archaeological monument, first documented in written records during 1765.
The main stone features thirteen square holes on its inner side, with eleven visible perforations that contribute to time measurement calculations.
