Tips from the Community
Anyone wishing to explore the mystery of the Restrup Bowl Stone should not do so in the dark. For at night, so the story goes, the devil sits on his "Deuvelstain" and ponders his day's work. It is here that he also forges plans for his next evil deeds. And woe betide anyone who disturbs him. If his plans don't go as he envisions, he becomes furious. Out of anger, but sometimes out of boredom, he presses holes into the stone that are clearly visible. There are further explanations for the interpretation, but its true function remains uncertain. Directly adjacent is the Restrup megalithic tomb, which unfortunately is only partially preserved.

In a forest area at "Schwienekopp" in Sussum, several work operations with heavy equipment were necessary to retrieve a 25-ton boulder from the depths in order to place it on the Eggertaler Dichterweg. With combined forces, Reiner Övermöhle and Hinnerk Diersing-Espenhorst finally managed to move the Granicolossus to the desired location. Goethe's "Erkönig" will be on display near the mighty stone in the future. Source: https://heimatverein-eggermühlen.com/blog/2022/4/ein-granitkoloss-am-dichterweg
