Hikers beware, the chances are you will fall in love with the Palatinate. All it takes is one short stroll through this marvelous mixture of forests and rolling hills and you’re going to want to come back. Lush beech forests, broken up only by delicate sandstone spires, conceal the remains of medieval castles that lie scattered around the area. For those who know how to enjoy themselves, quaint shops offer local wines and traditional, hearty fare at every turn. And in the evening, after a long day on the trail, there are plenty of gourmet restaurants to choose from—restaurants that pride themselves on their ecological and regional cuisine. Doesn’t that sound like a hiker’s dream?
