A highlight for big and small

In the castle museum there are exhibits of life from earlier times. Arrowheads, bullets and other paraphernalia are on display, as well as pottery and stove tiles. Traces of tools on the crockery reveal that the oldest find can be dated back to 1180. The imposing model of the castle is also on display. It shows the castle founded around 1200. The support group for the preservation of the ruins of Wachtenburg has set itself the goal of preserving the Wachtenburg. Many thanks from my side for your commitment.

Here stands Ritterstein No. 260. It is one of over 300 Rittersteine (memorial stones) erected by the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV) and bears the inscription "Heidenlöcher – Refuge Castle 9th-10th Century." It marks the remains of a refuge castle that served as protection against the warring Normans and Hungarians. Today, the foundations of two gate structures, 65 stone houses, and a 450-meter-long curtain wall are still preserved. The inner of the two adjoining dry-stone walls served as a parapet walk. - Source: Information panels on site A little further to the right of this Ritterstein are the foundations of one of the gate structures. The refuge castle, or rather its remains, can be entered through the two gate structures. The curtain wall can be easily walked along (with minor exceptions): either on top of the wall or along its inner side – and the remains of many stone houses can be seen along the way. Without Komoot, it is easy to get lost here: Therefore, it is best to follow the "Palatinate Wine Trail" hiking signs!

The entire facility is very exciting. A look into early history.

An impressive castle ruin on the Palatinate Wine Trail. There is a place to stop for refreshments and you can climb the tower ruins, beautiful view!

This Deidesheimer church was consecrated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - on paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.

In contrast to the (red) quarries in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, sandstone on the Haardt edge is white and yellow! Many of the inscriptions/pictures that can be found on the walls are explained on a beautiful information board and marked with red arrows on the walls of the quarry. Horse pictures are particularly easy to recognize. These rock paintings come from the Roman legionnaires who worked in the quarry here. Also carved into the stone: a large memorial plaque for the Bad Dürkheim soldiers who died in World War I and all their names.

The Ungeheuersee in the Leininger Sporn, part of the northeastern Palatinate Forest, is a shallow pond that is fed by the Krumbach. The lake has been protected as a natural monument since the 1930s. It has been listed in the official register since 1971 with the list number ND-7332-195.
