Edenkoben Victory and Peace Monument

Highlight • Monument

The peace monument is located a good kilometer above Edenkoben and, with its parking lot, is an ideal starting point for hikes. There is also a restaurant there.

Once a year it is the perfect location for the event rock-am-friedensdenkmal.de

July 26, 2024,Pfalz: ab Rhodt unter Rietburg zum Werderberg

This morning we waited for the rain showers 💦☔️. Around midday we drove to the idyllic village of Rhodt unter Rietburg. Here wine bars line up one after the other. We walked to the valley station of the chairlift 🚡 (Rietburgbahn) and floated up the mountain for 10 minutes, saving 200 meters in altitude in the increasing humidity. Once we …

April 3, 2023,RM Halbrundweg über die Rietburg von Rhodt unter Rietburg nach Edenkoben

Nice tour on vacation, built with a chairlift up to the Rietburg. The landscape is special, because the Palatinate Forest begins abruptly from the Rhine Valley, which is flat like on the coast. Rhodt unter Rietburg is a wonderful place with a lot of vine wood decoration and a wonderful Theresienstrasse🤩. LG👍

December 14, 2024,Von Edenkoben nach Rhodt unter Rietburg

I actually wanted to take the train and bus to Rhodt, drop something off at a friend's house and then go on a hike. However, the timetable information in the DB app was incorrect and I could only get to Edenkoben at an acceptable time. So I quickly replanned the hike. So from Edenkoben to Rhodt and then via the …

March 23, 2025,Edenkoben Mandelblüte 23 3,25

As we set off, it was still drizzling a bit, and before that, the world briefly ended :-)
But that didn't deter us, and we set off toward the Rietburgbahn cable car. We rode up and looked at the castle...
Then we continued past the enclosure to Hilschbach, where we took a break.

March 27, 2023,Mandelmeile Edenkoben - Friedensdenkmal - Rietburg

Today we went to the Palatinate for a change. To be more precise, to Edenkoben to walk part of the Almond Blossom Path. We have combined the beautiful hike with the Peace Monument and the Rietburg. Unfortunately, the weather forced us to take the Berg chairlift. Everything was hip today. Sun, storm, hail and rain 🙄😅.
Finally we went through …

March 9, 2025,🌸 Mandelmeile Edenkoben 🍷🤗 Villa Ludwigshöhe 🏰 Burgruine Rietburg

Spring almond blossom and wine hike with unforgettable Palatinate moments 🌸🍷🤗

The Palatinate offers many highlights all year round. But no event is as eagerly awaited as the Palatinate almond blossom. With an idyllic sea of flowers, nature heralds the end of the cold season and the beginning of the warming hours of sunshine in spring from the end of …

February 23, 2024,Edenkoben 2024

Today on the pre-hike of the GTW from Edenkoben. Unfortunately, the “worm” was somehow in there. After about 7 km there were numerous trees lying across the way that I could only overcome with difficulty. Relocation no problem. Then there was a path that was under water and two closures due to forest work. I then worked my way up …
