Top 20 Natural Monuments around Eilsleben

Very beautiful and very interesting

Bullerspring stamping site, holy grove with spring below and above is the foundation of the church.

I tolerated the cool spring water well.

Nice here at the Marienquelle and at the Orangery for a cup of ☕️ and cake 🍰

Very beautiful place but you shouldn't drink the water from the spring all the time because according to analysis it is not safe... This is also noted there as a warning.

The pious shepherd Conrad once grazed his flock in the area around Marienborn. One day he was with his sheep in the Mordtal at a well under an oak tree when he saw a crowd of maidens with burning torches who were feeding themselves in a solemn procession and bowing low to the tree and the well. Since he didn't know what this appearance meant, he asked God to reveal the meaning to him. His wish was fulfilled. The Virgin Mary appeared to him asking her Son to place this place in the Valley of Murder to honor and praise her name, and then said that under this tree an altar would be built that would last forever. Another time he saw an image of the Blessed Virgin descending from the clouds to the bottom of the well, and two angels holding the holy cross above it. It was now clear to him that the Born was a holy place, and he enjoyed staying at the site often. After a while the pious shepherd felt his death approaching, called a priest and told him about the miracle he had seen. Soon the tale of the well's sanctity spread. Now other shepherds who had experienced similar things there also spoke. When they had also come to this place with their cattle, the animals, thirsty, rushed to the spring to drink from it, but they backed away in fright. The shepherds were amazed at this and turned to an old man for advice, who told them that the spring had healing power, but that it only benefited people, and that all sick people who drank from it would be freed from their illness. Many people now rushed over and religiously drank the clear water from the well and also brought it to the sick at home, who found relief and recovery. As the miracles increased, the clergy of the surrounding area accompanied by the people marched to that place with cross and flag. After a silent devotion, they examined the bottom of the fountain and found a small carved wooden figure of Mary. With pious songs it was shown to the astonished people and placed under the oak tree. An altar was erected, upon which many offerings were immediately placed. A chapel was soon built here. Source: http://www.wallfahrtsort-marienborn.de/

On the side of the chapel there is the Marienborn water blessing.

Source: Wikipedia The Seehausen menhir (also called "Götterstein" or "Langer Stein") is a menhir in Seehausen, a district of the town of Wanzleben-Börde in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt. It stands in the direction of Eggenstedt, on an uphill dirt road, one kilometer from the lake and is the northernmost statue menhir in Germany. The stone was stored in January 2017 in the depot of the Saxony-Anhalt State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology in Halle (Saale). A copy was set up at the original location.[1] Other menhirs of this quality have also been taken to museums as a precaution. A thing site is said to have been located on the 2.4 m high semi-anthropomorphic standing stone. The heavily weathered stone with an oval cross-section has petroglyphs, of which very accurate images exist. They show a circle, a broad ax with handle and a sash. The older drawings still show parts of a decorated belt. Urn finds indicate that burials took place at the site. The representation is interpreted in the scientific literature as a human-like figure. Comparisons suggest an interpretation as a fertility goddess. Since incised motifs are not common in German archeology, the comparison material can be easily compiled. It becomes clear that this motif belongs to the Bernburg culture. The area on the Hoher Holz can be identified as the northern fringe zone of this culture.
