Not far from the recess stone from 1837 is the Schäferstein (shepherd's table). This is reminiscent of the herding days of the deforested Lauseberg. It is a level rock slab with 3 distinctive points. According to tradition, the shepherds of the surrounding communities passed the time here by playing cards, dice and marbles.

Rocks are usually known as rocks, but here they are flat slabs on the ground. A few characters were scratched.
