Stutgarten Historic Horse Pasture (Established 1505)

Bischöflich-Speyeriche paddock, this was created in 1505. The fencing consists of sandstone posts. Of the existing 215 posts, about half are still preserved.

The “Stutgarten” is located on the new “Pfälzer Hüttensteig” and can therefore finally be hiked again via a quality trail. You can clearly see the remaining stone posts of this horse enclosure from the path. But it's even more clever if you walk along the small path that leads directly past the stone pillars (easy to miss).The "Stutgarten" has been a listed building since 1997 and was partially reconstructed through the efforts of Hubert Puhl, a member of the "Association Burg Spangenberg" and under the aegis of this association.
