슈바이겐-레히텐바흐 최고의 등산 경로

생물권보전지역이라는 용어는 1977년 유네스코의 인간과 생물권에 관한 조사 이후에 만들어졌습니다. 이곳은 특별한 생태학적, 문화적 다양성을 지닌 보호 구역입니다.

노트바일러(Nothweiler)에는 (방문자 광산 방문자 주차장 제외) 거의 모든 곳에 주차가 금지되어 있으므로, 이 방문자 주차장은 출발점으로 매우 좋습니다 (베겔نبurg, 플레켄슈타인 성 유적 또는 독일-프랑스 프리미엄 하이킹 코스 "Grenzgängerweg"로 가는 하이킹의 경우).

A bit bumpy from the parking lot, but easily accessible - at least as far as the clearing with the impressive east wall.

The Wegelnburg Castle is located at an altitude of 572 meters, stretching along a mountain ridge. It is the highest castle complex in the Palatinate region, offering panoramic views over the Palatinate Forest/Northern Vosges Biosphere Reserve. This imperial fortress was built in the 12th/13th centuries. Remains of gates, buildings, large rock chambers, and surrounding walls are worth seeing.

Not far from Hohenbourg Castle, near the German-French border, lies the Maiden's Fountain, which bears witness to a tragic story: For a long time, the lords of Hohenbourg and Wegelnburg were enemies. And as fate would have it, the squire Robert von Wegehiburg fell in love with Edwige, daughter of the lord of Hohenbourg. She often lingered at the abundant spring between the two castles. One day, Robert went hunting. He chased a wild boar that was heading towards the spring where Edwige was. In the heat of the moment, the boar leaped at Edwige, but Robert, a skilled hunter, managed to catch it just in time, and with this act, he won his beloved's heart. The two often spent time secretly at this spring between the feuding castles. But one day, the lord of Hohenbourg surprised his daughter in the arms of his arch-enemy's son. In a blind rage, he stabbed Robert to death before Edwige's eyes. She collapsed with grief and died on the spot, instantly following her lover into the realm of the dead. Since that terrible day, two forget-me-not bushes have grown at this spring, which is now known as the Maiden's Fountain. It is not uncommon to see a white shadow above the Maiden's Fountain at dusk: this is the ghost of Edwige, descending from the cellars of Hohenbourg Castle to visit the place of her love. There she sings mournful words and sheds tears into the stream before being carried away by the wind.

Wonderful excursion destination in the middle of the forest.

There is a fantastic view from here.

One of so many outstanding rock formations that simply stand there and are impressive. There are numerous climbing routes on many of them, including this rock.
