A cast-iron plaque at this spot originally commemorated the last wolf in Dreieich, bearing the inscription: "Here, in 1784, the Princely Isenburg-Birstein Forester Siebenlist shot the last wolf." In the hyperinflation of 1923, the memorial plaque was stolen and replaced in 1933 by a new wooden monument, which was then badly damaged by vandals in 1991. Although the Wolfsstock (Wolf's Stick) is located within the Dreieich municipal boundaries, a support group was formed at the initiative of the Dietzenbach Senior Citizens' Advisory Board. This group campaigned for the monument's restoration and collected donations.

The boulder bears the inscription "WOLFSSTOCK," the image of a wolf's head, and the date November 26, 1784.

It's always nice to be able to sit down for a short break during a hike.

It could also be the old gypsum kiln or part of it (see information panel).

Lots of interesting information about the area's past, including the Celts and Romans. The following can be found on the Rödermark town website: Northwest of Urberach lies the Bulau ridge. The sand dunes in this area, which here overlie the foothills of the Odenwald forest, were used early on for the construction of burial mounds. Bronze arm rings date their origin to the Middle Hallstatt period (700–450 BC). Originally, there was a group of about 25 burial mounds here, two of which have been reconstructed. The "High Road" (Hohe Straße) led from the Roman administrative center of Dieburg across the Bulau, past the burial mounds, towards Dietzenbach. The reconstructed burial mounds, together with the replica of the structure of such a Roman road, a time bridge to Earth's history and the figurative representation of a Celtic funeral procession, created by the artist Kai Georg Wujanz, form the "cultural-historical experience site on the Bulau", a project of the Rhine-Main Regional Park.

Beautifully situated in the woods. Must be a shady spot for a rest in the summer. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to stop in and try the food...maybe next time.
