Attractions in Südwestpfalz

Spectacular rock formations. With a great play of light. A visit in the evening will be rewarded with an intense play of colors.

Great rock formations with a great view over Dahn. A well-placed bank promises best recovery.

One of the landmarks of Dahn. It is arguably the easiest rock massif to reach as it towers right off the road and can even be photographed from the road. Climbers are often seen on the south side.

The Dahner castle group consists of the rock castles Altdahn, Grafendahn and Tanstein. All three have been exceptionally well restored and thus offer an authentic castle experience. Admission is free. … read more

Barely a kilometer from the natural monument Dicke Eiche is the hiking home of the same name. Here you can stop for a short break with a white cheese (quark) with potatoes and a nice Weissherbst spritzer.

Small beautiful passage through the rock, stop for a moment and admire ❗

Drachenfels Castle is definitely worth a climb. A great experience, and not just because of the beautiful view. Exploring the structure of this castle is a real adventure, as it differs significantly from the usual castles.

The Dahner Felsenpfad is a highlight of the region. Personally, I liked the Napoleonsteig a bit better. Offers a little less rock, but the route is more harmonious and you have more nature.

Mighty rock massif above the city of Dahn.
Definitely the Dahner rock tour.
Various rock formations are waiting to be climbed

Very elongated and impressive rock reef made of red sandstone. The hiking trail passes the bizarre rocks at the second rock breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, the Schillerfelsen emerges from the undergrowth with its archway. There are stone towers made by hikers near the archway.

Experienced hikers can also climb some of the rocks in the Lammerfelsen group. Great view towards Dahn with its multitude of Buntsandsteinfels formations. Fascinating freestanding rocks and pinnacles! Absolutely worth seeing!

Very nice rock with a view.

The gigantic view alone makes it worth climbing up the ladder (and down again, of course).

You are so small when you walk along the rocks
