キンツバッハ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

One of the lakes on the new cycle route "Palatinate Lakes Tour". With the opportunity to rest and stop in the beautiful beer garden. Sun terrace, playground, toilets ... everything available.

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source (whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'): To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)

The Brunnenwanderweg near Kaiserslautern is up to 16 km long. There are nine wells on this path.

The silent landmark of the city of Kaiserslautern. A hike up the mountain and climbing the tower is always worth it. From the top you have a wonderful view over the Palatinate Forest and the northern Palatinate region.

Great view of Hohenecken

Beautiful location with a far-reaching view. Just enjoy the view or take a break.

Many trails, both stroller friendly and not at all, run to and around the Hoheneken castle ruins. The views are gorgeous. There is play ground near by. Also a private pasture where you can encounter interesting breed of goats (Boargoat). There are nit documented data on when the Castle was build. In the first half of the 13th century the castle was enfeoffed to a Kaiserslautern family of ministeriales, the descendants of Reinhard of Lautern, the knight. In 1214, they were awarded the right of patronage of Ramstein by the king, Frederick II, who would later become emperor. From then on the castle's owners called themselves von Hohenecken. At the beginning of the early modern period, Hohenecken Castle went into decline. In the German Peasants' War of 1525 it was captured by rebellious peasants. In 1668 there was a lengthy siege by Prince-Elector Charles Louis of the Palatinate, which ended in the partial destruction of the castle. In 1689, during the War of the Palatine Succession, the castle was blown up by French troops.

The castle is still well preserved. For hikers, a narrow footpath (also called Ritter Reinhard Weg) leads to the Rochus Church and the Schützenhaus up to the castle. Adjacent is a wooded area with a nice children's playground. You can also see a lot of mountain bikers here who approach the castle through the forest
