Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

A really great beaten path that leads right here along the long rock massif - on my hike today, probably the most beautiful section of the route.

Very beautiful rock directly over Wernersberg with a great view of the village and the castle Trifels.

Very rewarding goal!

View of Wernersberg and the 3 castles

Highlight • Viewpoint

This highlight is on the Keschdeweg and a pennant says "Beautiful view" but unfortunately not of Trifels Anebos and Scharfeneck, but only over the roofs of Wernersberg.

December 26, 2024,Rund um Wernersberg - Rödelstein, Heimelsteine, Wachtfels mit 🎄

Our destination today was the Wernersberg Wachtfels, which is decorated with an illuminated Christmas tree at Christmas time🎄. When planning the tour, we relied on Komoot and it was immediately clear that there were some new paths for us that had been "pre-planned" here. From the first quarter onwards, we went over paths and trails that were partly overgrown, littered …

26 friends from the Club Vosgien de Wissembourg followed me this Wednesday on this route that I had scouted on July 15th. We had a blast, but it was so hot as soon as we left the shade of the forest. The rocks, which are always spectacular, and the small trails delighted the whole team.

We walked on narrow paths, slippery leaves 🍁🍁🍁 steep winding passages and at the end the view over the summit cross to Wernersberg was great ❣️

September 16, 2023,Rödelstein, Heimelstein, Rothenfels, 3-Burgen-Blick und Wernersberger Wachtsfels ab Kaisermühle

First tour in the Palatinate. Start directly at the Kaisermühle, where we stayed.
The tour initially takes us comfortably through the valley and into the forest. Then an adventure followed. At first there was no hiking trail to be found at the marked place, the path that followed was lined with many fallen trees. But then everything was fine again. …
