Hurricane 1600 Posted Saturday at 10:37 Share Posted Saturday at 10:37 Last day of the 10CR we drove through a field of standing stones? what were these about? I was guessing some form of war memorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted Saturday at 19:58 Share Posted Saturday at 19:58 Can't be. The stones in the OP are roughly (and recently?) cut with the drill bores still on the faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted Saturday at 20:14 Share Posted Saturday at 20:14 (edited) La Route des Menhirs, in Moselle. See: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/france/moselle/route-des-menhirs/photos This is complete borrocks, modern drill bores on the sides of the 'menhirs',metal brackets suspending one on top.of the other. This is a modern construction, not a war memorial. Art work? Perhaps. But not an ancient construction.

AndyA Posted Saturday at 21:48 Share Posted Saturday at 21:48 Looks a lot like: https://www.thionvilletourisme.fr/decouvrir/balades-nature-au-fil-de-la-moselle/quand-on-sen-va-sur-les-chemins/ MENHIRS FROM EUROPE On the Franco-German border, in the village of Launstroff , stand curious, quirky sculptures . Geometric in shape, often built from several pieces, they recall traditional Celtic menhirs , while proudly displaying their differences. Pyramids or stylized faces, smooth or rough, sculpted or not, the trail opens up a palette of works, each more original than the last. Depending on the season of your hike, the surrounding fields will accompany you with their colorful and seasonal palette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
