Degernau menhir, Prehistoric stone monument in Wutöschingen, Germany.
The Degernau menhir stands 2 meters tall in a meadow, featuring a capstone measuring 2.70 by 2.00 meters that weighs 3.3 tons.
Archaeological excavations in 1954 by Edward Sangmeister uncovered evidence of a megalithic site dating back to approximately 2000 BC.
The stone structure contains a circular opening called a soul hole, measuring between 36 and 38 centimeters in diameter, connected to burial practices.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the year, with guided tours providing detailed information about the prehistoric monument.
Local residents continued the tradition of passing body parts through the stone's opening for healing purposes until the twentieth century.
