March 10, 2024,Vorderpfalz 3/24: Neustadt: Zigeunerfels - Nollenkopf - Hambacher Schloss ⭐️⭐️

Today's tour begins in a small (space for about 6 cars), hidden parking lot at the Freytag family mausoleum. At first we walk on a wide path until a path leads us up over a rocky ridge. From the Gypsy Rock we look over to Wolfsburg, which sits enthroned on a mountain spur. The path continues upwards, sometimes in serpentines, …

February 11, 2024,Neustadt - Hambacher Schloss

Today we go from Neustadt an der Weinstrasse along the Weinsteig to Hambach Castle, where I book a guided tour. So today I not only had a lot of beautiful nature on this short stage of the Palatinate Weinsteig, but also an immersion in German history. A visit to Hambach Castle with its recommended and interesting exhibition is a must, …

May 31, 2023,Tour von den Montagsmädels Hambacher Schloß ,wundervolle Waldwege und.v.m. oberhalb von Neustadt

Sodele, yesterday I actually had to take a break because I got a blister on the last two hikes.😔
Today I really wanted to run this tour of the Monday girls, which I did.

But somehow today wasn't my day and my blister on my foot wasn't that tingly either. BUT I pulled through.💪😎
