In Rinnthal there is a nice path right on the Queich. Looks a little like a park.

Bavaria Rocks

Highlight • Climb

The Bavariafelsen is a massive rock massif for climbers.
In spring, however, it is regularly closed for bird breeding.
It is imperative that you adhere to this lock.

Wilgartaburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Interesting but little-known castle ruins, which are a little off the beaten track of the Palatinate Forest's hiking routes.
