リーデルベルク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Great circular route here at the Hexenklamm in Pirmasens

The bench and the picnic area are located directly on the watercourse. This is a really mystical place to take a break.

The sandstone formation Altschlossfelsen, which is designated as a natural and cultural monument and is also the largest rock reef in the Palatinate, is really fantastic. The name comes from a castle built on the rock towers many hundred years ago was built, but has long since fallen into ruin. Beautiful rocks run through the forest for more than a kilometer. Unfortunately often overcrowded on Sundays and public holidays...

A truly fantastic view to be enjoyed here in the late evening in silence and solitude.

It is a scenic highlight. The rocks are worth seeing in terms of size, variety of shapes and color effect. A number of paths can be strolled between the rocks, around the rocks and through crevices in these rocks, and you always discover new places. On the southern ridge there is another viewpoint with a view far into the Northern Vosges.

The Buntsandstein is the lower of the three lithostratigraphic groups of the Germanic Triassic. It lies on top of the Zechstein group and is overlaid by the shell limestone group. The name "Buntsandstein" does not refer to a specific type of rock, i.e. no brightly colored sandstone of any age, but a succession of rocks up to several hundred meters thick from the Lower Triassic, which is made up of sandstone, but also siltstone and mudstone and sometimes also limestone and gypsum rock. In the past, the Buntsandstein (as well as shell limestone and Keuper) was also understood as a unit of time or time interval in the history of the earth and equated with the Lower Triassic (or Middle and Upper Triassic). However, the red sandstone sedimentation does not begin at the same time in the entire distribution area (diachrony). This is one of the reasons why "Buntsandstein" is unsuitable as an interval for the international geological time scale. Today's boundary from the Lower to the Middle Triassic, defined by fossils (i.e. biostratigraphically), does not coincide with the Buntsandstein/Muschelkalk boundary, but lies somewhat lower, still within the youngest section of the Buntsandstein. Thus, "Buntsandstein" is today only to be understood as a designation for a rock sequence (i.e. for a unit of lithostratigraphy) of early Triassic age.

The Altschlosspfad is a short but very beautiful hike, with the Altschloss rock as a highlight 🙃

Always worth a visit to the Altschloßfelsen. However, on the last visit it was heavily frequented by visitors from the direction of Roppeviller.
