    A beautiful knight stone No. 286, which marks the origin of the Eckbach. The stone is maintained and kept in order by the Palatinate Forest Association.

      A beautiful knight's stone adorns the origin of the Eckbach. Unfortunately, access to the source is on private property and "blocked", access at your own risk.

        The Eckbach spring is idyllically located on a small residential/field road in the Kleinfrankreich district in the Hertlingshausen district of Carlsberg. The name stone of the spring ("Eckbach-Ursprung") is one of the over 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association.
        Further information: kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-343735
        From the street (to the left of the prohibition sign "Private property - no entry") there are a few steps down to the spring. This short footpath is a bit overgrown.
        On the other side of the street there is a very nice rest bench with 2 information boards, slightly higher up. This bench looks directly onto the (empty) back of the knight stone as well as beautiful (pasture) meadows.
