The knight's stone is reminiscent of the earlier Holztrift. The wood was pulled down from a collecting point further up at the donkey grinding house by means of a donkey through a lane / chute, in order to then throw the wood into the Wieslauter for further transport. The donkey grinding house served as a resting place. It remains unclear whether the aisle is a natural occurrence or whether it was created by human hands to enable the drift.
There is a mistake in the inscription!
Instead of Eselsschleif, it says “Eselsscheif” without an “l” on the stone.

As I have been told by other Ritterstein hunters: Hard to find in summer because it is hidden under ferns and leaves. - But even in winter, this particularly small Ritterstein is difficult to see from the L 478 (St. Germanshof - Bobenthal), namely approx. 10 - 20 m above the road directly on the mountain slope.

Unfortunately, this knight's stone was not visible in September, and scrambling up a slope covered in ferns and bushes in the early dew, unless it is an emergency life-saving measure, is not my thing. Thanks to Euphemia for the precise explanation!
