Hiking

Of the ring wall (ring wall) are unfortunately only a few stones to see, in front of this PWV Ritterstein No. 257 above the Gimmeldinger quarry. He was in the 9.-10. Century a flee castle for protection against enemies and hordes.

Hiking

This is one of the over 300 Rittersteine of the Pfälzerwald-Vereins (PWV). It stands directly at the remains of the "Heidenburg" (old ring rampart). However, since the inscription on the Ritterstein is quite faded, it can hardly be seen from the path.

There's not much left to see. Remains of a wall and a stone.
