Rock that looks like a big bench

hiking trail of the eight forest wonders

This impressive rock on the Leininger Burgenweg actually looks a bit like a camel's head.

Historical circular hiking trail Leistadt. On winding paths through chestnuts, pines and heather, there are mysterious places made of sandstone, all of which tell wondrous stories for young and old. (1) Soup bowl: From the 12th to the 18th century. Boundary stone for district boundaries and meeting point for a happy drink after border inspections. (2) Leininger border stone: border stone of the Counts of Leiningen-Hardenburg from 1595. (3) Sofa: hermitage, inhabited from the 14th to the 16th century. (4) Teufelsbank: Bench carved into rock with another boundary stone of the Leininger Teufelsmauer: rocky reef in the layer of the Upper Buntsandstein (5) Roman chariot tracks: The iron-clad tires of the Roman chariots heavily loaded with stones from the Krummholz Chair dug these almost 2,000-year-old tracks into the rock. (6) Love mailbox: Old legends promise that lonely virgins who post a leaf will find a suitor. (7) Wallet: Whoever adds a stone to this crack in the rock will become rich.

There is a lot to discover on the Ganerbenweg hike.

The rock formation and the seating areas carved into the rock invite you to linger.

The word "Kanapee" is hardly read on hiking maps. But the name "Wilhelmshöh" is: This lettering can also be found on the stone "sofa backrest" of the sofa. The forest at this location and large parts of it belonged to the private citizen Wilhelm Retzer (died 1856) in the 19th century. Due to the beautiful view (now unfortunately overgrown), he liked this place so much that he had his name carved into the sofa in the lettering "Wilhelmshöh". Source: Information received from the Bad Dürkheim tourist information office upon request Another note on Wilhelm Retzer: Further down in the forest (also on the Leistadt Historical Circular Trail) is the "Laura Hut". It was built by Wilhelm Retzer and named after his wife Laura.
