Resting Stones and Napoleon Benches Written by Alexander Klein (www.rittersteineundmehr.de) In many places in the Palatinate, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Alsace, you can often find these somewhat dated sandstone benches. They stand along roads or paths, on former postal routes, on mountain passes, by streams, by lakes, in clearings, under trees, at high crosses, etc. These are "seating and storage furniture" designed to rest a load carried on the head or back on the higher surfaces (lintel or widened capital), and to rest on the bench next to or underneath it. Most often, it was women (e.g., market women, farmers' wives, maids, etc.) who carried firewood, crops, butter, hay, manure, etc. in baskets on their heads and thus covered long distances. The benches erected between the 18th and 19th centuries were popular resting places. They are colloquially known as Napoleon benches, butter benches, resting stones, or post benches. /www.heimat-pfalz.de/pfalz-geschichte/geschichte/835-ruhesteine-und-napoleonsbaenke.html

There is a memorial stone with the inscription "Here stood the village of Weyher, destroyed in the Thirty Years' War". There is also an information board explaining the history of this small village (with about 70 inhabitants).

Right next to a bridge over the B 38 (traffic noise!) and with beautiful views of Bad Bergzabern and down to Niederhorbach. A few meters further down (at the car park) there is also a seating area.
