Beautiful old things to admire

The former lock "An der Oberwaldbrücke" (At the Oberwald Bridge): Originally, the Spiegelbach stream continued in a straight line at this point as a post ditch along the entire length of today's Postgrabenstraße (Post Ditch Street) to the Herrenwiesen (Gentlemen's and Riders' Meadows). These meadows belonged to the Electors Palatine. The section of the Spiegelbach leading to the Obermühle (Upper Mill) only became necessary with the construction of this mill in the mid-18th century. The lock, which is still largely preserved today, was built in 1787. The carved numbers 21, 22, and 24 also date from this period. These numbers are a marking according to the Palatinate Queichbach Ordinance of 1784.

Wayside cross; crucifix, sandstone, marked 181[x]

At the Kittelsheim mill, remnants of the railway track and a tipper wagon from the former munitions railway, now erected as a monument, can be found. The railway was built by the National Socialists between 1940 and 1945. It ran from Hochstadt station to the Monika munitions depot in the Knittelsheim Forest. From there, tracks led to the Westwall fortifications on the French border.

The "Bärenruh," also commonly known as "Rentnereck," has been shining in its new splendor since March 2022. From here, one has a good view for observing the storks in the wetlands during the watering days in May and July. Wooden benches with a table and a shelter offer walkers, cyclists, and hikers a beautiful resting place right on the edge of the forest in Ottersheim.
