The striking group of trees was first mentioned in 1618 at the beginning of the Thirty Years War. The beeches, some of which are more than 450 years old, have been under nature protection since 1913. The natural monument is a popular viewpoint and excursion point. At the beginning of the 19th century, next to the beech trees, there was an optical telegraph pole, which belonged to the telegraph line from Metz to Mainz and which made it much easier to transmit messages over long distances. The individual stations were set up on hills around 10 kilometers apart. When the mast was put into operation, the people of Leitersweiler rumored that all important information was now being sent over their heads. Source: Text information board

Very nice rest area, but the Leitwersweiler beeches are not here, they are just under 1 km away!
