Eiche und Lügenstein

The Lügenstein stone is a circular sandstone plate measuring 1.5 meters in diameter, situated beneath a substantial oak tree at a road intersection.

The original stone structure, once considered the largest glacial erratic in the region, was destroyed in the 19th century and replaced with a millstone.

According to local tradition, the stone served as a gathering place where individuals sitting on it were compelled to speak only truthful statements.

The natural monument stands at the intersection of Federal Road 65 and Lügensteinweg, State Road 390, next to a barn in the village.

The site features both the Lügenstein stone, resting on glacial boulders, and the mighty oak tree, which reaches 21 meters in height.
