    Hiking

    The PWV Ritterstein No. 186 points to the ruins of several dilapidated houses. The forest area should be guarded from Waldfrevel.

    This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. He points to an earlier forest farming settlement that existed here for around 80 years from 1777 to 1852. - Source: Information board from the forestry office a few meters further at the ruins

    The mossy ruins of the former forest farmhouses are best visible in winter; also a well (near a small stone staircase and protected by a wooden scaffolding).

    Hiking

    The knight stones from back then are the highlights in Komoot today. This one indicates a very special place.
