The inscription on the plaque reads: "Menhir Celtic, long stone Sacrificial and cult stone from the time around the birth of Christ. Found in the "Grauer Stein" field in Dauborn. Non-local rock material. Keratophyre. Probably from the Mensfelder Kopf (Mensfeld Head). Numerous shards of the Linear Pottery culture or the Michelsberg and Rössner cultures (ending Early Stone Age, around 2000 BC) were found approximately 3,100 m west of the site. The scratched cross at the top right was probably placed by the first Christians in our area around the fifth or sixth century AD as a sign of victory over pagan customs." There are many things wrong with this text: dating, spellings, terminology...perhaps, since it's already weather-damaged, we should consider a new plaque with the correct content...

A small side path leads up to the hut. There are two benches below and directly on the main path.

Not 100 meters from the bench at the "White Mountain" there is also a small shelter.

I find Ohren's barbecue area more interesting than the sports field. It is located right next to the sports facility, has a large hut and a large covered barbecue. There is also something for the children, as there is also a nice playground at the barbecue area.
