    A large sandstone find shows the large spider at the pigeon site. Here are some benches and a table for a picnic.

      Via the well skin it goes down to the Wegspinne Taubenplatz. Here is a nice resting place to rest and enjoy.
      The sandstone with the lettering "Taubenplatz" appears to be new.

        Unfortunately there were no pigeons to be seen far and wide 😅
        Old place at the meeting of numerous paths on the boundaries of the district
        Frankeneck, Neidenfels, Esthal and Weidenthal always represented an important one
        Crossroads and was already the central medieval Grenuum passages.
        Following the suggestion of district forester Dirk Neumann, a stone building was established in 2019
        Marking set in the form of a boulder. He had volunteers in Esthal
        found committed citizens who helped implement his plans. For years lay next to
        the pigeon place a large sandstone boulder, which his opinion as well
        Marking stone could be suitable.
        Dirk Neumann had found three experts who gladly followed his suggestion.
        Walter Wolf expertly awarded the TAUBENPLATZ font in capital letters
        Steinmetz Helmut Weitzel as a raised font from an easily legible Antiqua font
        chiseled on the boulder. In addition, there were the engraved references to the year (2019)
        and altitude (349m.a.s.l.) of the stone. Albert Kuhn was involved in the organization,
        because the 3 ton stone had to wind with muscle power and with the help of
        Then partially transported over a distance of 15 meters to the location
        to be buried and erected. The company Bernd Stoller was helpful
        Frankenstein with technical equipment.
        The Taubenplatz has always been an important place in the Palatinate Forest. So you can at
        Philipp Karch (Kronik Neidenfels) read from the transcript of one
        Forest walkway from 1533. At the "Alte Wolfsgruben" at the top of the Morschbach
        (Taubenplatz) The pedestrians stepped from one hole to the other, biting into one
        Stone, that's where the Neidenfels forest comes into play ”. From May 10th to 15th, 1602 undertook
        Princely two-bridge representatives and counts from Leinigische on horseback from the lower
        Frankenweide, the Weidenthaler-, Morschbacher- and Esthal- Dalberg forest,
        we continued down the Hahnensteig, where Frankenweide and Morschbacher Wald meet
        divide up to the "old wolf pits", the Taubenplatz. These records
        According to that, wolf pits must also have been created at Taubenplatz in the Middle Ages.
