In front of the forester's house is a granite boundary stone from 1734 with the coat of arms of the Bayreuth margraves and the Habsburgs' shield . The stone stood until 1848 at the state border to Bohemia . The boundary stone and stone cross are under monument protection . In the large forest clearing there is a memorial stone made of Selber granite with the inscription “KENNE DEINE WALDHEIMAT” and a picture of a charcoal pile.
