    Hiking

    This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association.

    Nowadays, unfortunately, there is no house (anymore) at this large crossroads and no place to rest.

    Hiking

    From here, the donkeys used ropes to pull the logs to a gathering place to pull them down into the valley. At this point there was an accommodation for humans and animals, a so-called cannon house. From here the donkey loop runs down the valley, the trift wood was sanded to Wieslauter. The Ritterstein is maintained and kept in order by the Palatinate Forest Association.
