Small chapel in the middle of the forest. Anyone who wants can light a candle for a small donation and ring the bell that sounds bright throughout the whole area.

Located in the rear Queichtal directly on the trail is the rock group of the Wolf Rocks majestically like a ship's bow. Between the towers you have a nice view of the Stephan towers

Dicke Eiche Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

At over 300 years old, the mighty oak was a well-known landmark of the Palatinate Forest. In 1994, the oak tree was so severely injured by unknown persons with a chainsaw that the tree died despite all attempts to save it. In 2010 the oak had become so rotten that it had to be felled. Today the tree stands as a memorial in its former place and can still give you a sense of its size and age.

Until 1933 (= consecration of Christ the King Church), St. Bartholomew's Church was the parish church of the Catholic Church in Hauenstein. It is therefore also called the "Old Church" today. Information board at the church reads:
"Built in 1787/88 on the site of the earlier, smaller parish church [from the late Middle Ages]; the neoclassical church tower was added in 1826/27; at the same time, the nave was extended. Extensive renovations took place from 1993 to 1996."


In front of the main entrance of St. Bartholomew's Church stands a wayside cross belonging to the Ritter family, dating from 1903, surrounded by a small hedge.

Inscription: "O, all you who pass by, take heed! See if there is any pain like my pain." (Verses from the Lamentations of the Old Testament)
