하슬로흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A somewhat inconspicuous peak or small mountain ridge. There is a stone here with the inscription “E. Scherr / 1942 [?] / P. W. D.” (of the Palatinate Forest Association Diedesfeld?). Below this summit there is a rest bench with a view of the Rhine plain on one side and the PWV hut on the other side.

Great! Magnificent landscape, great views! Splendid.

This is the smaller, more accessible lake that emerged after the basalt quarries near Forst were abandoned in the 1980s. Today it's a nature reserve, so you'd better avoid swimming here. It's definitely worth seeing.

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!

Super beautiful section of the Palatinate Weinsteig.

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

Nice place for break and view.

When you get to the Hohen Loog Haus, the small detour to this beautiful rock formation is worthwhile.
