The PWV-Ritterstein is located on the upper Isenachtal. Nearby was also the Wolfhutte, today a ruin.

One of the Palatinate Forest Association's more than 300 knight's stones is located here.
It is located on the edge of a large bramble. To the left of the Ritterstein it is approx. 100 m to the remains of the wall of the former "Wolfenhütte". The path there is almost overgrown. If you still make it through the bushes, which are sometimes waist-high, you can see some remains of the wall within sight.

"Woodmakers and charcoal burners lived here for a long time. A house was named 'Wolfenhütte' after the resident Franz Wolf." It was demolished by the city of DÜW in 1845.
Source (partly quoted verbatim): Walter Eitelmann in "Rittersteine im Pfälzerwald", self-published by the Palatinate Forest Association, Neustadt/Wstr.

From the ruins, only a moss overgrown wall can be seen.
