Erratic Blocks
St. Leonhard bei Freistadt, Oberösterreich, Österreich
Two special features along the cultural hiking trail are the end of the world stones and the gypsy beech.
Cultural hiking trail no. 05, length 6.8 km, walking time: 2 h 30 min, total ascent: 459 m
The Doomsday Stones are two boulders that appear to be moving towards each other. In reality, however, only the "upper", northern stone is moving.
Legend has it that should the two collide, the world will come to an end.
The gypsy beech is 200 years old. Even before the war, but mainly after 1945, gypsies travelled through the village selling their wares by the beech tree. They sold little hats, shoe laces, scissors and knives.
