Am Menir "Hinkelstein" trafen bis zur Französischen Revolution die Herrschaften Falkenstein, Kurpfalz und Schallodenbach aufeinander. Noch heute ist der mächtige Hinkelstein ein Dreimärkergestein, an dem die Grenzen der Gemeinden Otterberg, Höringen und Heiligenmoschel zusammen treffen. Der 891 in der Römerzeit erstmals urkundlich erwähnte Hinkelstein ist ca. 2,20 Meter hoch und 1,50 Meter breit und wird von zwei behauenen Grenzsteinen flankiert. Eine Sitzgruppe lädt zum Verweilen ein.
