There used to be a forest garden here with a cherry tree. Later this was “a feeding and resting place for forest carters with their animals”. Today “the cherry tree hut of the Palatinate Forest Association Hainfeld now stands (Eitelmann p. 69).”

Nowadays a cherry tree grows here again (bird cherry = wild/forest cherry).
For Ritterstein fans: The Ritterstein is sometimes only listed as a “cherry tree”, but the inscription on site reads “Hainfelder Kirschbaum”!
