Gollenstein

The Gollenstein in Blieskastel is one of Central Europe’s oldest standing menhirs, likely erected in prehistoric times and later linked to local legends. Rising over six meters, this sandstone monument stands on a quiet hillside and offers a glimpse into the region’s ancient past. While the site is simple rather than monumental, it appeals to visitors interested in archaeology, early history, and lesser-known landmarks. A stop here works especially well as part of a wider tour of Blieskastel and the surrounding Saarland countryside.
