Hauensteiner Premiumfels 

Grenzfelzen zwischen der Gemarkung Hauenstein und Schwanheim.  

Quelle: http://www.palzpix.de/huehnerstein.html

Frühere Grenze zwischen den Besitzungen der Kurpfalz und dem Fürstbischof von Speyer.

(Auszug aus der am Fels angebrachten Tafel) 

Der Name "Hühnerstein" leitet sich ab von Hunnenstein oder Hünenstein

Der Pfälzerwaldverein Hauenstein errichtete 1970 eine Leiter, über die man den Hünerstein erklimmen kann.

 Auf dem 12 m hohen Fels hat man einen grandiosen 360 Grad Panoramablick

Der Hühnerstein ist einer der vielen Attraktionen des "Hauensteiner Schusterpfad" oder des "Hauensteiner Höhenweg"
