Süntelstein, Megalithic menhir near Vehrte, Belm, Germany
The Süntelstein stands 3.7 meters tall, with a width of 2.6 meters and a thickness of 1.7 meters, featuring a rounded top and flat southern face.
During the Saale glacial period, approximately 200,000 years ago, glaciers transported this granite block from Scandinavia to the Osnabrück region.
Local folklore tells of the devil attempting to carry the stone to Venne church but dropping it at sunrise, creating the visible cracks in its structure.
The archaeological site is located on a small clearing in Steenshöhe forest, accessible through marked paths in the Wiehen Mountains.
The north face of the stone displays a devil's grimace painting that follows the natural contours and cracks of the granite surface.
