Up to 82 cm tall granite standing stone just by the junction near the village of Quellenreuth. The stone is most probably a medieval cross stone. Today it is severely weathered and its true shape can only be guessed.
The site is allegedly the burial place of a military officer or magistrate, though this is unconfirmed. Also nice scary local folk legend about headless night rider is associated with the stone.
