This is the horseshoe stone! It is located about 1.5 km southwest of this pathetic metal horseshoe stalk. Hidden by a pond near a crossroads behind meter-high piles of waste wood.

We didn't see the stone itself, just the name on the signpost. According to other pictures, the stone doesn't look that impressive, but the story of the legend described above is interesting. It has a little in common with the "Roßtrappen legend" in the Harz Mountains.
