The Alte Taufe

There are so many unexplained things around the world, and Germany is full of them, too. You can see this for yourself if you head into the Deister Forest down a designated six-mile trail that leads you to the Alte Taufe. This sandstone monument may be impressive to look at, but its history is even more impressive - mostly because nobody has any idea where it came from or how it got there. In fact, archaeologists are stumped.

According to locals, this altar may have been used for sacrifices and baptisms back in the day. But historians and archaeologists alike haven't been able to confirm or deny these claims.
