These are the exact Koordinates. Standing in front of it. Walked this stone 10 times or more but i haven’t ever noticed that something in German is on it.

I had tried to encrypt this. The blue letters I’ve added from me to give the red letters a sense.
The red letters I had drawed over that what i could read on the stone.
En du hon is swedish for “and you darling” german “und du schatz” That is that what google translator makes from this.

To me it reads “3 Meilen bis Neuhof”. But I don’t know what Neuhof this references. There is a Neuhof in central Germany and I found a Neuhof on the Baltic Sea island Poel. There is a hut to rent called “Stockholm” 
This is really weird.

Exact that fits. As Xezr posted a little further up, this must be a milestone from another Avalanche game that was in the game in a German region, maybe that was a place in the game (Call of the Wild).

Still it is strange that there are two milestones not too far apart that have the same text. I did a run to search for more in the same area but didn’t find any. Zezr named the game 'The Hunter". I don’t know that game, but it might have a place called Neuhof.

The games Name is “The Hunter Call of the Wild.” You play a Hunter and you hunt Stags, Bears, Does. You can see it on Steam. It has the same stunning graphic engine. On Steam there are some Teasers.

In this topic I like to talk about everything you found in the GZ world, that made you wonder, so feel free to put your 2 cents in.
Roaming around in GZ you come around sings or structures that to me are like markers. Ancient markers or resistance markers.
I don’t really know if they are significant to GZ, nor how many there are. They might be part of Swedish culture.

Those are stone cairns. I’m not sure what the exact word is in Swedish (despite being Swedish) but they are fairly common. They’re not necessarily ancient, and they’re not resistance markers. Cairns are used in modern times mostly as landmarks and in Scandinavia as trail and sea markers.

I found them for instance at the entrance or exits of some caves. Where the big gaping mouth of the cave doesn’t really need marking. Good to know they are called Cairns. It’s interesting to find out more about these little stone towers. There are also bigger stones in a circle, are those also Cairns?
This is called a Skeppsättning. I don’t know the english translation for it, but basically they’re remnants from the viking age. When people could not afford a viking funeral with an actual longboat, they constructed these to make sure the dead had safe passage to the afterlife.
They may also have had other ritualistic purposes.

It sounds like a ship settling. Last settlement. I have not seen these in GZ. That would be cool though.
I feel like it’s important to note that the term “viking” was solely a profession and only describes those Norse people who left their homelands to raid and trade. Those Norse people who stayed in their homelands were not vikings, and yet the word is used in modern English to describe them as well, even if it’s not really correct.

The at-home-stayers were Vikingswifes, Vikingssons, Vikingsdaughters etc.

@Gysbert Since we already have a discussion topic in the forums where people can share and discuss interesting, curious etc locations they find within the game, there’s no point to cross-post the same thing twice. Due to that, topics merged.
