The dog stone commemorates the close connection between humans and animals in the forest – especially the role of hunting dogs as reliable partners of foresters and hunters.

The fountain stone symbolizes the connection between nature and art in the former military area, which now serves as a nature reserve. Its simple, powerful form blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape and invites contemplation.

Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses in the world, have lived in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen since 2003. Since 2012, they have been supported by Peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed. Together, they ensure that the open sandy areas of the former military training ground do not become overgrown with shrubs – an important contribution to the preservation of rare habitats and biodiversity.

The quarry was first mentioned around 1600 and supplied high-quality sandstone for construction in Nuremberg and Erlangen. It remained in active operation until 1912. Later, a popular tourist destination developed there, complete with an inn, which was demolished by the US military after World War II. Today, remnants of the old rock cellar still remain.

The Siebenstein or Siebenerstein from the 16th century. The information panel describes: "The cross, made of Burgsandstein, stands in the Siebenstein forest section named after it. Whether it is an expiatory cross, a weather or votive cross, or a boundary marker is uncertain."
