More than 1800 years ago the rock was used by the Romans as a quarry. Stone coffins are said to have been made from its stone, as well as parts of the city wall of the former imperial city of Worms am Rhein. In any case, the Krumholzer Stuhl also served as an important boundary mark for the Ganerben, as evidenced by numerous boundary marks in the stone.

Big crossroads. From here you can take well-signposted hiking trails to Lindesmannsruhe, Bismarck Tower, Bad Dürkheim,... Thanks to the tables and benches, there is also a good opportunity to take a break.

Nice entry into the rock formation-rich Palatinate Forest. Quite neat and beautifully located, but no comparison to the giants of the southern Palatinate. The route is the goal! However, climbing is prohibited.
