グリューンシュタットの絶景の山頂・トップ14

The Viewing Chamber (not to be confused with the Dragon's Cave!) is, as the name suggests, open on two sides (southwest and south/northeast) and lies just a few meters below the South Rock. There is NO railing here (except on the stairs). You reach the Viewing Chamber from the South Rock via an entrance at the base of a birch tree (which branches into two trunks) and then via a staircase hewn into the rock, which makes a 90-degree turn and has a metal railing at the bottom. A truly special place! One of the rock faces down here looks like a dragon's face!

The Zeppelin Tower is a viewing platform on the summit (342 m) of the Ebersberg in the Seebach district of the city of Bad Dürkheim. As early as 1854, a tower was built on the mountain, which was named Malakoff Tower after the French statesman and general Pélissier (“Malakoff”; 1794–1864) in memory of the victory in the Crimean War (1853–1856). On August 4, 1908, when Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838–1917) was on a tour of the southwest of the German Empire with his airship, numerous onlookers hiked to the observation tower to see the Zeppelin in the distance. Around 1909 the structure was renamed the Zeppelin Tower to commemorate the Zeppelin flight. In 1974 the tower was renovated by the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV; Seebach local group).

A few meters before the southern rock tip there is a narrow passage through which one can walk can descend to the viewing chamber, a cave open on both sides of the rock. Great views and there is also a stone dragon head here. Well who discovers him?

"In 1927, the municipality of Freinsheim decided to build a forester's lodge at the entrance to its approximately 436 hectare forest. At that time, the Bismarksturm on the 480m high Peterskopf had already stood for a quarter of a century. The forester's lodge received its name from the former head forester Lindemann. " Source (quoted verbatim): https://www.stadt-freinsheim.de/freizeit/gehenswuerdigkeiten There is also a bus connection here (line 489) from DÜW train station.

One of the more imposing Bismarck towers. For a break with refreshments there is a kiosk and, in addition to various seating options, a sun lounger. Descent over the Geyersbrunnen with a few steps for jumping. I can recommend it.

Historically everything has already been said. My verdict as a MTB enthusiast is as follows. Straight ahead from the steps, i.e. at the front, it goes a little through the bushes down to the barrier. A DH trail that is known in the scene, the upper 1st part is stony and technically demanding. The short 2nd part has 5 jumps, radio factor 10. The remaining sections are super flowy and can be taken with speed and small jumps. In the last part there is a mega jump for the brave, but be careful ⚠ .... too much speed, wrong technique = AUA !!! Because e is so beautiful "repeat" 🤟 Hikers should avoid the trail, there is a deer crossing 😜🤪😛😝

Great destination between Leistadt and Höningen. Small indoor area, large outdoor area with a small schnapps hut .... which invites you to hut evenings in winter, the campfire and the offered grill specialties round off the whole thing. There is a large parking lot on site, usually overcrowded on a good day, so there is usually wild parking. Many well-marked hiking trails around, the Bismarck Tower and TV Tower are the closest. The Monster Lake for people with more fitness.

The Celts from the Limburg mountain and the valley settlement in Hausen buried their dead here. After the fire, the "Schneckennudel" lookout point, also known as the "Zeppelin Tower", was rebuilt in 1974. The building, formerly known as the “Malakoffturm” (Kriem War), was given the name “Zeppelinturm” before the First World War, when the first zeppelin was sighted over Bad Dürkheim. The vernacular refers to it as "snail noodle" because of its spiral-shaped rise, a rarity among viewpoints. See https://www.pfalz.de/de/sehenswuerdigkeit/schneckennudel-und-karl-raeder-blick
