    Hiking

    Beautiful rooty narrow paths go from Busenberg up to the Drachenfels.

    Hiking

    Beautiful forest paths, as one loves in the Palatinate, lead to the castle ruins. Caution is advised in some places because of the roots. However, experienced hikers know this well and it is therefore not a problem.
