On the site of the PWV-Ritterstein there are still a few remnants of the foundations of the former Palatinate hunting lodge, which was later used as a forest house. A chronicle provides information on the career of the hunting lodge. - Count Palatine Johann Kasimir was called "The Hunter from the Palatinate", is the name of the song from here ???

This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. Here he explains the ruins of a former forester's lodge. There is a nice seating area on the other side of the hiking trail.

The history of this former forester's lodge (hunting lodge) begins in 1576 with Count Palatine Johann Casimir ("Hunter from Electoral Palatinate") and is explained on an iron information board:
1576 Count Palatine Johann Casimir - hunter from Electoral Palatinate - hunts deer and capercaillie here.
likewise his successors
1592 Elector Friedrich IV
1749 First inventory description of the “Jagdhaus am Speckheinrichweg”
1785 “Floor plan of the Elmstein Forest” contains the main and outbuildings.
Forester Caspar Osterheld
1822 Forester Jakob Mantel (Bavarian)
July 11, 1833 Forester Friedrich Hoffmann moves to Iggelbach. Demolition of the house.
