    Nordic walking

    The Palatinate flag ..., it flies high above the Wachtenburg. A distant view is guaranteed from up here.

    Hiking

    It's worth climbing the tower; from the top, you have a beautiful view of Wachenheim, Bad Dürkheim, and Deidesheim.

    Depending on the weather, you can even see as far as Heidelberg.

    Hiking

    Climbing the castle tower is worthwhile.

    In good weather, you can see as far as Heidelberg. Bringing binoculars might be worthwhile on such days.

    In the lower part of the castle, there is catering during the warmer months and ample seating with views of the region.
