The historical border stones mark the old border between Germany and the Saar region from the period between 1920 and 1935. A D for Germany and an S for Saar region are carved on the sides of the stones.

To the "historical border line":
On a 2-kilometer route there is an accurate row of historical boundary stones that mark the course of the border between the Saar region and Germany between 1920 and 1935.
The further course is carved on the top, so you can always see where to find the next boundary stone.
The corresponding country is carved with D and S on the sides.

(the already existing highlight "historical border line" was thrown together by Komoot with the "Saarhölzbachtal nature reserve" and "path at Saarhölzbach" at komoot.de/highlight/204922)
