wonderful, sunny resting place with a view of the Trifels. You can get apples from two trees on the tax fruit meadow.
The PWV Annweiler has outdone itself here.

The tour is not long but it is challenging. After endless climbs, the reward finally comes in the form of a white autumn spritzer at the Jungpfalzhütte. Great view and a very nice hut. It was worth it.

December 19, 2021,Lieblingsplätze Gräfenhausen: Jungpfalzhütte, Krappenfelsen, Ruheoase - Neu: Sommerfels

Unfortunately, the Jungpfalzhütte has a winter break. But that didn't stop us from hiking there and having our well-deserved backpack vesper in front of the hut. Today I was out with friends and showed them my favorite places around Graefenhausen. Although they have been around a lot, there was something new to discover for everyone. For me too. The summer …

Today we went on a varied tour to Annweiler.
I wanted to visit the two knight stones on the Grimmeisen path and the Holder spring (also a knight stone).
I started in OT Gräfenhausen and from there first a beautiful, quaint, enchanted path up to the Sommerfels with an imposing rock passage. I then walked further uphill in the direction …

Today we went again to the beautiful Palatinate. The starting point for the tour was the train station in Annweiler am Trifels. The hike is a nice mixture of everything that the Palatinate has to offer: ascents and descents, pretty paths through forests, wonderful views over wooded hills, beautiful rocks, a hut to stop (which unfortunately was closed today) and …

The trail can be very muddy at the beginning, so only attempt it in dry weather or when there's frost. It's a very beautiful trail. Dogs are not allowed in the idyllic hut, which has a lovely playground, and the elevation gain on this hike shouldn't be underestimated.
