The stone is at an altitude of 2160m on the border between the municipalities of Domat/Ems, Scheid village and Malix. The original stone dates from 1722, and today is in the Rätian Museum in Chur. In 1742, Nicolin Sererhard mentions three stones. The Sektion Rhätia of the Swiss Alpine club built this 2m tall stone marker in 1915. In 1970 a chair lift was added to mountain, making it easier to reach the marker.
