    Here, hidden in the undergrowth and just visible from the path, is one of the Palatinate Forest Association's more than 300 knight's stones.

    It “was created in 1975 [date is visible on the right broadside] by the forestry administration, which is why it does not have the abbreviation of the Palatinate Forest Association. But he was taken over into his Ritterstein network.”

      The knight's stone with the number 264 indicates the location of a former wolf hunter's hut.

      It was built in 1739 by Cornelius 'Nilius' Brügel, who lived there with his family until 1748. From 1761 the wolf hunter Peter Scheid lived there with his family. The hut was destroyed in 1793 during the Revolutionary War.
