Auf halber Strecke zwischen Kemmerode und Machtlos fanden sie den Findling mit dem eingehauenen Hersfeld-Wappen unversehrt wieder. Der ungewöhnliche Name des Steins rührt von einer Sage her: Zwei Riesen, einer auf dem Eisenberg, der andere auf dem Herzberg ansässig, waren in Streit geraten und bewarfen sich mit Steinen – sie verfehlten aber ihr Ziel. Und so liegt der Findling, der so genannte Pöbelstein, noch heute relativ weit weg vom Herzberg im Wald. Die Spuren der Riesenkrallen sind in Form von tiefen Furchen noch heute zu sehen.

Google translation:
Halfway between Kemmerode and Machtlos they found the erratic boulder with the Hersfeld coat of arms cut intact. The unusual name of the stone stems from a legend: two giants, one located on the Eisenberg, the other on the Herzberg, had quarreled and threw stones at each other - but they missed their target. And so the boulder, the so-called Pöbelstein, is still relatively far away from the Herzberg in the forest. The traces of the giant claws can still be seen today in the form of deep furrows.
