Between Hopfmannsfeld and Lautertal, about 5 km north-east of the town of Herbstein, there are two sandstone pillars along the way. These are the remains of a gallows that, according to the inscription, was erected there in 1707. There are recesses on the tops of the columns. A wooden crossbeam was inserted there, to which a rope or chain was attached.
