Background and significance:
Purpose: The carved natural stones previously indicated which farms or farmers were responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the respective section of the path. [1]
Inscriptions: The corresponding duties, farm numbers, or path assignments were directly chiseled or painted onto the stones. [1]
Current status: Many of these old testimonies of rural infrastructure have disappeared over time; some preserved specimens in Fahren are protected as local cultural monuments and witnesses of local history. An explanatory information board on site provides information about the significance of the stones.
