Hiking

This stone at the rest area is reminiscent of the Wilhelmsdamm built by Elector Wilhelm II of Hesse in 1826 along the Frankfurter Straße. Today the A 49 runs there.

Gravel riding

The memorial stone at the Wilhelmsdamm rest stop (on the A5 between Frankfurt and Darmstadt) is one of the most famous, but also most tragic, milestones in German automotive history.
