The term "long stone or menhir" is also known as "Hinkelstein," at least for the generation that reads its asterisks well!

The stone was erected in 1930 below the Black Man by forest workers in memory of the forester Ivo Jansen.

You don't need a lot of equipment here. The tour can be done in normal everyday clothes. It would be advisable to take a flashlight with you to take a closer look at the bunkers (it is expressly stated that the bunkers are not allowed to be entered, just for information purposes) I hope you have fun exploring

It's worth coming here because you're in a quiet place. You can look at the remains of the bunkers and read the information boards. There are also many opportunities to take a break, such as the shelter or one of the many benches that the tour offers.

Great location, definitely worth a visit. If you look closely at the stone you can still see parts of the writing that was once there. Unfortunately the writing is almost illegible due to shrapnel etc.
