Outstanding tour with 90% single trail content! It was the icing on the cake of three wonderful mountain bike days in the Palatinate Forest.

The plan was actually to drive straight through the village from the Hilschberghaus and to get on the path above the L 497 at the end of the village. That's m.m. after the nicer and more flowy part. But planning is the be-all and end-all, you should load the tour onto your GPS in advance. Somehow it worked out 🤔 …

Fulfilled a long-awaited dream of Frama today! He had wanted to ride the Rodalben Trail for a long time. We split it up into about 20 km per day because it turned out to be quite demanding. This trail is something very special! Beautiful and extraordinary!

Without 📱= Without navigating the rock path is a real adventure 🫣. Fortunately, the signage is quite good and there are hiking maps 🗺🕵‍♀️. I somehow managed at least half of it, but unfortunately without pictures and the weather was really great.
Unfortunately, my cell phone could not be saved and my contacts, pictures, etc. were all lost....🥺🥹😢.

Today we rode endless trails along the rock trail. Trails from S1 to S3 were strenuous, but the scenery, rock formations, and views were simply fantastic. We were practically alone on the trail 👍

With a 3-year delay, my brothers redeemed several gift vouchers. With the mobile home we went to Rodalben in the Palatinate Forest. We started our tour to the Rodalben rock hiking trail from the Clasensee campsite. The circular hiking trail is very demanding, as it is almost entirely a single trail and contains hardly any relaxed sections. Unfortunately, we had …
