Erratic rock marking the cantonal border between Geneva & Vaud in Switzerland
Summary
edit
| Description |
English: The boulder of Pény between Versoix and Mies, marking the boundary between the cantons of Geneva and Vaud in Switzerland as stone number 5 with a red cross (top left). Historians assume from stone carvings that the glacial erratic served as a place to celebrate cult rituals in prehistoric times. The surrounding oak trees are a natural habitat for the great capricorn beetle, an extremely endangered insect.
Français : La Pierre à Peny, est un bloc erratique à cupules (creux circulaires faits par l'homme) qui se trouve entre Versoix et Mies. Il marque la frontière entre les cantons de Genève et Vaud. Le site a probablement servi de lieu de culte aux peuplade préhistoriques. Il abrite le Grand Capricorne, un insecte extrêmement rare.
Deutsch: Der Fels von Pény, der zwischen Versoix und Mies als Stein Nr. 5 mit einem roten Kreuz (links oben) die Grenze zwischen den Kantonen Genf und Waadt demarkiert. Fachleute gehen davon aus, dass der Findling in prähistorischen Zeiten für Kultfeiern genutzt wurde. Die ihn umgebenden Eichen sind ein Brutplatz für den vom Aussterben bedrohten Großen Eichenbock. |
