Key Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Interesting rocks on the German-French castle path. Not to be confused with the highest, the same name rock formation at Drachenfelsen, near Daahn, which with approx. 60 meters wall height is the highest in the Palatinate Forest.

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located not far from the border between F and D... small, almost impossible to miss... but by no means inconspicuous... nice to look at

View from Wegelnburg Castle

Beautiful view from the castle, which is currently undergoing renovation work... which will take a while... 3 men don't do much when building a castle...😏... but it will be beautiful

Château du Loewenstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Löwenstein Castle (also called Lindenschmitt and Löwenburg) was first mentioned in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed in 1386 due to robber barons and was probably not rebuilt.

A very beautiful ruin with a wonderful view from both platforms.

Sentier des Roches (Felsenpfad)

Highlight • Trail

Breathtaking rock formations and steep paths overgrown with roots require a lot of sure-footedness and fitness. But the sight is worth every drop of sweat.
