    This is one of the over 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. It has an arrow on the left above the inscription "Erlenbrunnen" pointing to the left, i.e. down to the Erlenbrunnen (a former cattle trough), and is the only signpost there.

    The "PWV" abbreviation is on the bottom right (often under moss).

    The stone indicates that 140 paces to the west is the alder well. There is another stone right next to the source, on which the inscription "Source of salvation" is located. In the past, the water point was used as a drinking trough for cattle.
