Two old boundary stones can be discovered here. The triangular, crowned Dreikönigstein bears the year 1791, the letters EF (Erkshäuser Forst), SF (Spangenberger Forst) and MF (Morschener Forst) indicate which forest areas bordered on each other at that time. The original border stone was stolen many years ago, a replica has existed since 1986. The second much more inconspicuous stone is octagonal and has no inscription. In Schleenstein's map (around 1710), the border point is referred to as "King Stein".

Historians have not yet been able to clarify what the Three Kings Stone is all about. At this point, neither the territories of three "kings" nor three "lords" bordered each other. The historic three-edged stone was also stolen and replaced by a reconstruction in 1986. The stone bears the year 1791 and was used to mark the boundaries of three forest districts, the Erkshäuser Forest (EF), the Spangenberger Forest (SF) and the Morscher Forest (MF). Next to the replica decorated with a crown is an octagonal stone that is said to be much older. There is also a nice rest area that is located on various paths.
