    Particularly beautiful half-timbered building. From here the Pfälzer Hüttensteig goes to the Stamminger fountain.
    "1848: built on one floor as a seat for the district forester at the time;
    1885 – 1996: Forestry Office Elmstein-Nord; 1909: conversion and addition;
    1996 – 2003: Elmstein Forestry Office; since 2005: private ownership"

    Built in 1898/99 as a forestry office during the reign of Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria; used as the Elmstein-South Forestry Office until 1996; privately owned and beautifully renovated since 2004. Currently, it houses the headquarters of the media agency "Greenwood Finch."

    Station 2 of the "Felsenkönig" audio tour with a large information board about:
