In our native forests, many stone puzzles are hidden: walls, stone circles, rock chambers, piled hills, ramparts, and worked monoliths - structures whose meaning and purpose are no longer known and whose builders are unknown. In their frequency and similarity, they provoke questions and conclusions that reach far beyond our prevailing historical image. This book leads to some of the most enigmatic and impressive sites and meticulously follows the traces back to the deepest pre-Christian past of our region. Breathtaking perspectives unfold in the process. Historian Roland Weis, a profound expert on the history of the Black Forest, and photographer Ramesh Amruth, with his atmospherically rich images, illuminate this fantastic past. This creates a previously unknown picture of the Southern and High Black Forest: magical, mystical, megalithic.
