    Hiking

    This is one of the more than 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV).
    "The knight stone indicates the outlet of a spring under a rock, which only springs out periodically as a so-called hunger fountain." The local spring only flows for a certain period of time or during a certain season.

    Hiking

    The Hungerbrunnen is bordered by colorful sandstone. The well is both a landmark and a Ritterstein, bearing the number 165. It is maintained by the Pfälzerwald-Verein, but a lot of spring water is taking its toll on the Ritterstein. - I have hiked to all 306 Rittersteine and created a Ritterstein collection on komoot.
