The "Dreibannstein" or also called "Dreimärker" is the geographical point where the three areas of equal nature, Schuttertal, Prinzbach, and Welschensteinach, meet. The center of these three areas forms the isosceles triangular shape of the historical boundary stone. Schuttertal and Prinzbach together form the largest part of the boundary stone and at the same time represent the tip of the triangle. On this tip of the boundary stone is the coat of arms of Geroldseck. On the other side of the boundary stone is the coat of arms of Fürstenberg. This contains an eagle in a cloud shield. The boundary stone was rebuilt in 1912, while the original from 1599 was moved to Donaueschingen.

The Schwedenschanze near Steinach (also known as Prinzbacher Eck) is a historical fortification on the ridge between the districts of Steinach / Welschensteinach, Prinzbach and the Schuttertal valley in the Central Black Forest. Despite the popular name "Schwedenschanze" – which is often mistakenly attributed to structures from the Thirty Years' War throughout the Black Forest – the star-shaped structure on the Prinzbacher Eck is likely a French field fortification from the late 17th century (around 1676).

The granary of the Schwendeseppenhof To save the building from decay, it was completely restored in 2001 using old techniques. The masonry consists of rubble stones mortared with clay, the cellar ceiling was insulated with so-called clay wadding, and the roof was covered with straw (or reeds). The well-preserved fruit chests date from the 18th century, but the granary itself is much older. It now serves as a museum that shows how the farmers in the valley lived and worked in past centuries: agricultural equipment and tools, household items, the local costume, work clothes, and many photos. Items and pictures from school and religious life are also exhibited.

The Gasthaus & Pension Adler in Steinach (Kinzigtal) is a traditional inn, family-run for many generations, located in the heart of the village. History and Development Commercial and hospitality tradition since 1800: The property in the center of Steinach looks back on a history of more than 200 years. According to historical records, the property was taken over by the Halter family as early as 1800 and continued for generations as a farm and restaurant. As is common for many rural inns in the Black Forest and Kinzigtal, the "Adler" served for a long time not only as a place to eat and drink, but also at times as a post station and as a central meeting point for village festivals and local clubs.

I didn't really see any boundary stones here, but I did see a Schwedenschanze, which was more interesting.

I really liked that. Authentic with a great explanation 👍.
