Some good preserved boundary stones. This is where the historical border between the “Manorial Forest” and the so-called “Schenckenwald” runs. The stones are made of quartzite and bear the inscriptions HW and SW and the year 1779.

Judging by the many boundary stones that can be found along a relatively short route, it seems to have been an "important" border at the time.
