フランクヴァイラーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

このマンモスツリー（原産国：アメリカ、カリフォルニア州）は、1880年頃に植えられました。美しいエキゾチックな景観庭園「Privatklinik Bad Gleisweiler」の入り口に立っています。（この素晴らしい公園には、他にもマンモスツリーがあります。） この木にある案内板によると、「頂上まで伸びる幹は、印象的な赤褐色の樹皮に覆われています。この樹皮は柔らかく繊維質ですが、燃えにくいです。このようにして、マンモスツリーは[カリフォルニア]で頻繁に発生する山火事をほとんど無傷で乗り越えます。」

The road connecting the residential area to the forest parking lot resembled a bumpy gravel track at the time of our visit. Not suitable for every car.

Narrow, natural forest path on the way to the cherry tree hut.

Stony forest path as a beautiful cross connection to the Landauer Hut.

The Kirschbaumhütte is a small shelter located in the heart of the Palatinate Forest, right at a crossroads. A seating area inside invites you to take a short rest during your hike.

You pass through here along the Palatinate Hut Tour. Starting at the St. Johann parking lot, you'll get your first fantastic view of the Trifels.

Beautiful view of Trifels

The location is perfect as a starting point for hikes to the Orensfels and three huts, most of which are only open on weekends. Unfortunately, the parking lot is correspondingly overcrowded. The steep access road is riddled with deep potholes and ruts, but is easily manageable with SUVs and off-road vehicles. Small cars can also manage it. However, it is absolutely unsuitable for low-slung vehicles.
