The Palatinate Almond Trail leads through the village of Frankweiler. A beautiful wine village, but the designation "path" does not fit the path that you have to share in the narrow streets with car traffic.

You have a nice view from the path at the edge of the forest and there are also some benches. But this place also offers shade!

March 13, 2023,🌸🌸 Pfälzer Mandelpfad: Gleisweiler - Frankweiler 🌸🌸
Beautiful town centres, sunny weather, wonderful views. A nice tour through the villages of Gleisweiler and Frankweiler and vineyards. Then there are the almond trees that are already in bloom. 👍🤩
The tour template came from @Matthias Brandt

We completed a nice round in great weather in the Palatinate today. It is almond blossom time and at the Geilweilerhof in Siebeldingen there is a beautiful almond avenue at the start of our tour. Then the path led us along the almond path through Frankenweiler to Gleisweiler. Strengthened after a "Dubbe"/Schorle, we went back on a beautiful forest path.

Today our almond blossom adventure begins. The start was in Siebeldingen. Unfortunately the predicted sun didn't show up in the morning. No matter, it started anyway. This corner is obviously still an insider tip, there were very few people around.

After the somewhat disappointing almond blossom plantation near Freinsheim, we enjoyed the almond blossoms to the fullest today. We were truly thrilled by the multitude of almond trees and the almond avenue to walk along.

Highlights/Notables:
- Almond Blossom Trail
- Geilweilerhof (former monastery complex)
- Almond Avenue
- Sections of the Schmunzelweg Trail

Starting point: Siebeldingen, Dagobertstrasse at the cemetery.

I discovered this tour on Sunday with Matthias (Brandt), who took it over from Rita (with Ronnie) and modified it a bit towards Gleisweiler.

And a day later (on Monday) we immediately ran after them. Here is the result - for me the first time that I have consciously experienced and perceived the Palatinate almond blossom.

Today it had to be the almond blossom again 🌸, I had already saved Matthias Brandt's hike.. and I wanted to go to an almond blossom festival too... off we went, really a dream these blossoms,... and the beautiful weather. From Siebeldingen, via Frankenweiler to Gleisweiler..🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️.until that moment I was in the belief that the almond festival was taking place …

This week we wanted to go to the Palatinate and enjoy the almond blossoms again. Originally I had Gimmeldingen in mind, but when I saw Rita's tour yesterday with her enthusiastic description of Siebeldingen, I quickly rescheduled, downloaded Rita's tour and extended it a bit because I really wanted to include Gleisweiler. We started at 10 a.m., unfortunately, contrary to …
