At the "three stones" about a kilometer further on Birkeneck is the former Dreimark: Elmsteiner Wald, Oberhaingeraide, Frankenweide. The letters C P E were signed on the boundary stones, each signifying the corresponding forest area. (Source: Rittersteine im Pfälzerwald, Walter Eitelmann),

This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association.
It is located directly on the B 48 (Rinnthal – Johanniskreuz) and near the turnoff to Iggelbach. There is something (?) sticking out of the Ritterstein at the bottom left. Directly to the right behind the Ritterstein there is a hiking trail marked "yellow-red".
The knight's stone points to the "three stones", which are located at the following KOMOOT highlight: komoot.de/highlight/6345696
"About one kilometer east of this Ritterstein, at Birkeneck, are the three stones that give the Ritterstein its name. They stand in a long row of boundary stones at a fork in the road. The "Three Stones", or also called "Wise Stones", mark the border point at which the three areas Elmsteiner Wald, Oberhaingeraide and Obere Frankenweide met."
