Take a break at the Ritterstein No. 55 of the PWV 'Spalt', a seating group can accommodate several people. The narrow saddle between two mountains, here between Wartenberg and Narrow Neck, forms a narrow ravine and was called "gap".

Not far from the Wartenberg, the 510 m and the 518 m high shell neck, there is a saddle or a narrow gorge, it was called the gap. The PWV knight's stone no. 55 was set here.

"The Ritterstein lies directly between the 510 meter high Wartenberg and the 518 meter high mountain called 'Schmaler Hals'. Both elevations drop steeply into the valley and form a narrow gorge, which was also called 'Spalt'. The Ritterstein " Spalt' marks the saddle 'Auf der Spalt' between Wartenberg and Schmaler Hals."

The knight's stone stands between a memorial stone for Rudolf Frieß and a rest bench with a table.
