It used to be a sol that has dried out. It was a depression in the soil with loamy water impermeable ground. The wild boar used these shallow places to wallow in it.

This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. Caution: It is right on the side of the road on federal highway 48 (Hochspeyer - Johanniskreuz).

With the help of the knight's stone, “a former sole on the mountain ridge (mountain ridge) is marked, which has now dried out. However, the depression in the ground is still clearly visible. - A sole is a hollow in the ground in which water accumulates due to the clayey and therefore water-impermeable subsoil. Predominantly wild animals (wild boars and deer) use this to wallow in it and thus rid their fur of vermin. The mud also acts as protection against mosquitoes.” Source (quoted verbatim): kuladig.de Objektansicht/KLD-279038

For Ritterstein fans: The abbreviation “PWV”, which is characteristic of Rittersteine, can be found somewhat hidden at the bottom right of the Ritterstein and almost sinks into the grass.
