ゲックリンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

"The weather cross, consecrated in 1909 by Bishop Konrad von Busch (1847-1910) of Speyer, was created by stonemason Johann Minges and is the highest weather cross on the Haardt mountain range. Locally, it is also known as the Bishop's Cross." Source (quoted verbatim): https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-272330 The following text (difficult to read) is inscribed on the base of the cross: "Behold the Cross of the Lord! // Flee, you hostile forces! // The Lion of Judah. // The Root of David has triumphed! // Alleluia, Alleluia! // (St. Anthony of Padua)" A vineyard (large vineyard area) in the Southern Palatinate is also called "Bischofskreuz" (Bishop's Cross).

The way to Teufelsberg is marked with a weather cross. High up on the summit is a large stone cross, the so-called Wetterkreuz. From the summit you have an impressive view in the direction of the Rhine and you can still see the Anna Chapel at your feet. You almost have a nice feeling of happiness at the summit here.

At the same time as the renovation in 2010, the exterior of the tower was designed by the artist Karl Heinz Zwick. The six-part installation made of steel patinated with gold dust entitled "The Golden Rose Bush" is a poetic homage drawn in steel to the "fairytale village of Dörrenbach". Source: Information board

Tip: come here during the week and enjoy the wonderful view. The popular viewing point is very busy when the weather is good and on weekends.

It is worthwhile to linger here and walk around the rock formation to the east as well. The way over the Teufelsfelsen gives no idea what this highlight looks like when viewed from below. Swarm and enjoy!

A great tower with a breathtaking view of Trifels, Anebos and Münz. Around a couple of benches to have a snack.

You should have seen a great view :)

Great place for a picnic with a view. Benches and table are available.
