Lulustein / Lulu's stone
Lulu was the nickname of Napoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph, the son of the French King Napoleon III. When Lulu was 14, his father sent him off to Saarbrücken to fight the Prussians. On the spot of this stone, he fired his first canon shot. The life of Lulu was not particularly fortunate. The French lost to the Prussians and Lulu died at the age of 23 at the hands of Zulus, whilst helping the British in South Africa.

Ramblers' stone
Walkers from 26 countries all over Europe participated in the year 2000-2001 in a series of events to highlight the importance of walking throughout Europe. The Euro Rally was organised by the European Ramblers Association and aimed to unite walkers throughout Europe, highlighting the enormous potential of walking as a healthy, environmentally – friendly and economically-beneficial activity.This event culminated in a symposium in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, to raise the profile of walking, bringing it to the attention of Brussels policy makers, and gaining support and action on important walking issues.—— EURORANDO 2011
The stone is within 90km rambling distance of Strasbourg.

As a nearby sign says in helpful English: The Felsenwege are natural ways for wandering. Pay attention to falling branches.
