April 16, 2023,Südwestpfalzrunde - über die Battweiler Höhe ins Wallhalbtal

With our TourGuide Markus we went through the Southwest Palatinate. And we were lucky: Contrary to what was reported, it didn't rain; only a few minutes of very light drizzle were hardly noticeable.
Because good cycling also includes a good stop, a table reservation was canceled when we arrived at the Kneispermühle - so we managed to get a warm …

August 16, 2022,(K)ein Brot aus Wallhalben, keins aus ...

(No) bread from Wallhalben, none from Thaleischweiler-Fröschen, none from Rieschweiler-Mühlbach and none from Oberauerbach.

I had to draw this frustrating balance sheet. I really wanted to buy some bread in Wallhalben, but when I got there, the bakery was on vacation. So on to Thaleischweiler-Fröschen. What do I see: vacation.

Finally, I drove over the Schmitshauser Höhe into the Wallhalbtal valley again. Wow, the energy transition is gaining momentum. From there, you can see almost 100 wind turbines on the horizon—and none of them are a nuisance.

October 1, 2023,Zum Grumbeeremarkt nach Wallhalben

Bine and I drove to the Grumbeeremarkt in Wallhalben today. From home we went along the Rosenweg along the Schwarzbach via Niederauerbach, Oberauerbach and Niederhausen until we cycled to the Schmitshauser Höhe just before Winterbach.

After the climb we were rewarded with wonderful views of the North Palatinate mountains, the Palatinate Forest and the Northern Vosges.

We started relatively early today at half past seven in Pirmasens. Since the weather report had promised me over 20 degrees, I was on the road for a short time, which was still a little fresh for the first hour, but it worked. The city itself is not the best in terms of panorama and the smell of the waste-to-energy …
