    Hiking

    The Protzbach rises under the rock face of PWV-Ritterstein No. 148. The knight's stone is maintained and kept in order by the Palatinate Forest Association. Benches are set up next to the rock for a leisurely break.

    Hiking

    Particularly pristine, beautiful spring that bubbles out of a crack in the rock. There is a rest area and an information board next to it.

    This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. "The inscription of the Ritterstein is engraved on a large boulder on the side of the path [...]. Below the rock rises a spring that is set in a stone channel. The water flows parallel to the forest path a few tens of meters further north into the Leinbach. The fountain is a natural monument."
