Mysterious stone circle
Hidden deep in the Saale forest is a circle of 13 apostle stones. The stone circle consists of unevenly sized stones, some of which are arranged somewhat irregularly. Some of them have already fallen over. The temple is not far away. Is there a connection? In fact, it is a place of worship from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods.
To this day, it is a magical place to which visitors and locals alike like to make a pilgrimage: cowslips, buttercups and ashes point the way to the Saale stone circle. They stand like apostles in the green spring forest, while the particularly colorful beech leaves rustle in autumn. Here a breeze, there a ray of evening sun, birdsong, gifts from visitors on the tree table, a walking stick leaning against the tree, warmth ... a magical place ... after work, vacation.
The place is well hidden. Discover the enigmatic stones on a guided tour with the nature and landscape guides from the Southern Bodden Coast Tourist Office and listen to regular stories about the beauty of the woods and meadows along the way (May-September).
On your own: The stone circle in the forest area south-east of Kückenshagen can be reached via the Saaler Straße "Kolonie", which leads to the edge of the forest. In the forest, turn left for approx. 420 m, then left at the wooden sign "Apostelsteine" to the small bridge on the right, which leads over a ditch. Follow the path lined with tree trunks, cross a short footbridge (be careful not to slip) and walk through the forest to the stone circle. (The navigation system helps!)
