    Hiking

    There used to be a wayside shrine here by an elderberry tree. "Nothing can be seen of the wayside shrine or the elderberry tree anymore."
    Source (partly quoted verbatim): kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-324117


    For Ritterstein fans: Today there is a 3-cornered "green island" at this crossroads - and in each of these 3 corners there is a stone: 2 stones are "mere" signposts with the inscription "Holderbild"; but 1 large stone bears the inscription "Am Holderbild" and the "PWV" abbreviation; it is the Ritterstein you are looking for!
    Translated by
    The knight's stone, cared for by the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV), shows the place where an elderberry tree is said to have been.
