Gegensteine - Ballenstedt |
The Gegensteine are a geological formation which eroded from a folded layer of hard material. Thus, the formation appears on a nearly straight line. The name Gegensteine express that they somehow oppose the Harz mountains.

Rock formations do create strong places. They have been used for rituals, they have given shelter, some were used for meetings. Eroded sand stone and basalt rock forms large parts of middle Germany. In limestone sometimes there exist stalactite caves. When they collapse, the relicts are impressive.
