Großer Steintanz - Boitin
Großer Steintanz - Boitin

This megalithic stone circle was built by the early Germanen. There are three circles, therefrom two consisting of nine, and one consisting of seven stones. The Kindersteintanz, 150 m besides, also consists of nine stones, like the Rote Maas at Damp. Although burials could be testified, the main purpose may have been astronomy. One of the stones is split, and called Peilstein, to find the bearing of a direction. The largest menhir has a vertical row of holes. I have seen such also on the Rockenhausen menhir. The circle centers are arranged to the corners of a rectangular triangle.
These stones are also subject to a story where wedding guests turned into stone after playing with food.
