This place is called "Schwarzweiher", it lies between the district Enkenbach and Münchweiler. Behind the first pond is the "fisherman's hut", a nice rest stop, also dogs and horses are welcome;)

Elephant and Ploughman Statue, Enkenbach-Alsenborn

Highlight • Monument

The real story behind the art on the spinning top, the plowing elephant on the spinning top, took place or is said to have taken place towards the end of the First World War in 1917. The tradition told here comes from the youngest son of the main protagonist of the story himself, namely the son of the master carpenter Schmitt. In 1917 the men were at war, the country was ailing and chaos reigned. In addition, the horses and animals were drafted for the military, at that time there were no high-tech weapons. In the municipality of Enkenbach-Alsenborn, a circus was making guest appearances, which broke up while trying to escape, so two elephants were stationed here. To be more precise, with the Moulier family. The master carpenter Schmitt was working for the Moulier family when the daughter came to him and said that the garden should be plowed up, but there were no animals to do that with. This is how Schmitt came up with the idea of using the elephants for this purpose. They made a harness that of course had to be much larger and sturdier than that for horses or oxen.

The elephant traveled from China to Enkenbach-Alsenborn
The elephant has come a long way. From far away Shanghai, the 15-ton colossus came to Germany in the municipality of Enkenbach-Alsenborn. The elephant was at sea for a full 5 weeks before it set foot on European soil for the first time in Antwerp. From there he traveled to the Rhine port in Ludwigshafen. With the weight, which is still only about half that of the original elephant, large equipment was required for loading. An 80 ton mobile crane was needed to load the elephant from its container onto the base of the roundabout. The base had to be covered with concrete beforehand, on which the elephant was attached. The spectacle took place under the observation of numerous spectators.
The dimensions are impressive for a human, although not quite the same as a real elephant. The elephant is 2.5 meters high and about 3 meters long. In the original dimensions, the elephant would probably have been less easy to transport and the sight would have been too impressive on the roundabout.

Cycle Path Between Enkenbach and Eselsfürth

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a good place to "roll" and accelerate. The surface has been reapplied from Enkenbach and is running great. Overall, the bike path is very flat and even for me as a racing cyclist there is no reason to ride on the road. Slightly sloping and therefore "fast" :-)

Ritterstein 157: Axer's Cottage 1824–1951

Highlight • Monument

This is one of the PWV's over 300 knight's stones. It is clearly visible at a crossroads very close to highway 504 (Kaiserslautern – Waldleiningen).

The Ritterstein “points to a residential building that was built in 1824 by the former fountain maker Christian Axer from Kaiserslautern and demolished in 1951. In addition to the Axershäuschen, the nearby Axertal is also named after the fountain maker. [...] However, the climatic conditions made it difficult for him [Christian Axer] to work with the cattle, which led to unsuccessful farming and livestock farming. [...]
Since 1951, the former Axer area has been part of the upper Lauter water protection zone. Since then, the residents of the city of Kaiserslautern have been getting their drinking water from this (Eitelmann 2005, p. 125). The Ritterstein has stood [outside] the fence of the water protection area on the hiking trail since 1995, i.e. no longer at the location of the Axer property.”

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This is a small but nice climb of 2.8 kilometers and an average gradient of 4%. Everything runs smoothly. Also great the other way around as a descent.
