Ritterstein No. 49: To Wilgartaburg

Highlight • Monument

This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. It is located directly on the Queichtal cycle path and serves as a stone signpost (with an arrow pointing to the top right) up to the ruins of Wilgartaburg. The corresponding path runs a few meters further to the right of this stone.

"Development probably only took place in the 11th century. What is certain, however, is that there were several construction phases, which can be determined from excavation finds from the 12th and 13th centuries. The castle served to protect the Hornbach monastery, the entire St . Pirmans district and the important salt road that ran along the Queichtal. This was an important trade route between Lorraine and Speyer. How the castle fell is not yet known. It was probably destroyed around 1300."

Wolf Pit (Wolfsgrube)

Highlight • Historical Site

In this pit, wolves were once lured with a meat bait and killed after jumping into the much deeper pit earlier.

Ritterstein 48: Wolf Pit

Highlight • Historical Site

The Ritterstein 48 'Wolfsgrub 105 Schr.' PWV in a rock points to the opposite wolf pit, where in former times the wolves were caught by bait, to prevent the wolves from tearing the cattle of the farmers.
