Stamp point 154 / Dreibrodestein

Between Sankt Andreasberg and Sonneberg are the Dreibrodesteine, three oversized blocks of granite formed by the weathering of wool sacks.

Accord­ing to leg­end, they were formed from three loaves of bread from a heart­less woman who did not want to help a starv­ing min­er. With the words “My three loaves should rather become stones”, she ignored the min­er and the loaves then grew into huge stones and pressed the woman into the mossy ground. The gran­ite blocks are said to be a warn­ing against heartlessness. 

The most con­ve­nient start­ing point is the “Dreibrodesteine” park­ing lot, from where you can reach the nat­ur­al mon­u­ment after 1 km. From this park­ing lot, it is also pos­si­ble to hike the short, bar­ri­er-free path to the “Rehberg­er Graben­haus” HWN 155.
