These landmarks mark not only the former Prussian-Bavarian border, but also the Gemarkungsgrenze between the villages Pfeffelbach (identified by the "P") and Albessen (identified by the "A"). The surface of the landmark shows the course of the Gemarkungsgrenze. Many landmarks line the path - it's worth keeping your eyes open.

It stands there in the midst of the lush green forest – silent, mossy, and steeped in history: an old boundary stone that once separated two countries. Today, it marks no more than a stage of your hike, but the atmosphere here is palpably special.

💡 Tip: An ideal place for a short break. Simply pause, take a deep breath, and take a moment to reflect on history – this isn't just about hiking, but also about understanding.
