Seehofweiher Bathing Lake

Highlight • Lake

Certainly great to cool off in summer. In autumn, the "big boys" let their model boats whiz across the lake here. The lake also invites you to take a break on your bike tour.

The route is very demanding in some places, and you also have to be on the ball so that you know where to go, because the Raubtitter Tour sign is not there. Since we know the area reasonably well, that wasn't a big problem.@Oliver @Achim G @Daniel Remus @André Burdich

We made a quick pit stop at the Seehofweiher pond for refreshments.
Luckily, it stayed dry above today.

Today we wanted to visit the robber barons, but nobody was at home. 😂
The approx. 43 km long tour started near Dahn. With the Rhineland-Palatinate app and the changed tour on Komoot plus the great trail markings, you can't miss anything. First we came to the Drachenfelsen ruins. There was already a small diversion via the west entrance. You …

The robber barons tour in the Dahner Felsenland usually starts in Bruchweiler-Bärenbach.
We started from our holiday resort and therefore had to drive 20km more, which wasn't a problem.
A very nice tour with a few meters of altitude that could be mastered without an e-bike.
Berwartstein Castle is particularly beautiful, which you should visit if
one would also like …
