August 29, 2025,Lemberger Rothenbergweg die 2.te 😍👍

After hiking this trail last time in winter, I wanted to do it in summer 😉.
But it's definitely a hike you can do more than once – great rocks, beautiful paths, and absolute peace and quiet ☺️....

September 20, 2022,Rothenbergweg - Lemberg - Dem "roten" Gespenst auf der Spur

Hiked the Rothenbergweg in the late afternoon, hoping that the sun would come out more often. We liked the start with the many sandstone rocks. The first four kilometers, including past the germ cross, were nice to walk in spite of the cool temperature. Then, to the forest restaurant "3 Buchen", Autobahn 🙈. The rock path, later the free view …

This path is always very nice to hike, the last time I did it completely and in the opposite direction was in 2018. 😊 By the way, I had to think of you on the way @Kauai, it's almost a year since we hiked together at the Altschlossfelsen. Hopefully the weather will be better this year, let's keep our fingers …

A tour in nature to relax.
Many sandstone rocks, few views, just to switch off.
Food in PWV very tasty, new owner.
Highlight the Lemberg rocks at the end.

May 18, 2023,Prädikatswanderwege Pfalz Tour 10: Lemberger Rothenberg-Weg

Today was a family hike. We were traveling with our dog and our junior (5) and it was easy to walk.
At the beginning there were some rocks to see and climb. At km 5 you can stop at the Drei Buchen forest hut, which we didn't need for the short distance.
At the end it was rocky again over …

January 10, 2025,Lemberg (Pfalz): Auf dem „Rothenberg-Weg“ (Premiumwanderweg) mit herrlichen Pfaden und tollen Felsenlandschaften

Today @Elili and I were out and about again – in an area that was still unknown to me. So, despite the cold weather (and no sunshine), we explored a new hiking trail – and had a lot of fun doing so:

It is a very nice tour, mostly on narrow forest paths. Refreshment stop after approx. 5 km, Waldhaus 3 Buchen. Recommended👍🏼

October 6, 2024,Lemberger Rothenberg-Weg ein bisschen erweitert -Pfalz-

The Lemberger Rothenberg-Weg tour is varied, there are one or two places that get a bit monotonous on roads but overall the tour is fun.

I extended it a bit though because the weather was still pretty good...
