The Langenstein menhir (a 4-meter-high long stone) was erected in 1904 by a Soultzmatt industrialist, who recognized this block as an overturned menhir. Legend tells that on full moon nights, fairies, or White Ladies, come to dance around the Langenstein. During this ceremony, the stone is said to begin spinning!
