    Of the ring wall (ring wall) are unfortunately only a few stones to see, in front of this PWV Ritterstein No. 257 above the Gimmeldinger quarry. He was in the 9.-10. Century a flee castle for protection against enemies and hordes.

      This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association.
      It stands directly next to the remains of the "Heidenburg". However, since the inscription on the knight's stone is quite faded, you can hardly see it from the path.
