The boundary stones are located along the Schönwappenweg in the border area between Bavaria and Thuringia.

The Rennsteig's most beautiful border stones decorated with coats of arms can be found between Steinbach am Wald and Brennersgrün on a section of about one kilometer. The founders of the Rennsteig Association, Ludwig Hertel and Johannes Bühring, therefore gave this section of the Rennsteig the name "Schönwappenweg".
As a path on the ridge of the mountains, the Rennsteig could be used quite practically as a dividing line between sovereign territories. And so the name "Rynnestig" is first found in medieval documents as a border designation.

Why so many landmarks? As a way on the crest of the mountain, the Rennsteig (which was anyway for long distances limit of dialects and customs) was quite practical as a dividing line between territories, and so you will find the name "Rynnestig" first in medieval documents as a boundary name. Mind you: Rennsteig means "fast connection", so he was traffic connection, before he was called as a boundary line.
