Tips

  • One of the Palatinate Forest Association's more than 300 knight's stones is located here and points to the following:
    From 1710 until its destruction in 1731 there was a glassworks here, i.e. H. Glass was produced here by the stream, and 10 glassmakers lived and worked here with their families. - On the rubble of this old glassworks, the "Forsthaus Alte Glashütte" was built for a forester and gamekeeper (later: district forester) and was demolished after 1875.
    In 1951 a shelter and a small hunting lodge were built here.

    The Palatinate Forest Association Lambrecht (formerly) held its annual “Hut Magic” here.
