Small Whitsun tour in the best weather in the Rockenhausen area, with a great view and often through shady forest. It is blooming and greening beautifully in the meadows, but unfortunately there was no orchid to be seen yet, but beautiful grass lilies, cornflowers, chamomile, buttercups, poppies, daisies and devil's claws 👹😅.

A beautiful circular hiking trail - very well signposted and easy to walk through mostly very quiet forests.

The detour to the Steinberg viewpoint is well worth it.

Today we went back to the North Palatinate mountains - on the almost 12 km long orchid trail from Rockenhausen. We started at Rockenhausen train station and then more or less followed the pink signs. We must have missed a sign in Rockenhausen, but I had downloaded the tour. Lots of forest, lots of beautiful forest trails (which are currently …

Today we went on the orchid trail to Rockenhausen. We started at the train station and then took a detour through the town before going steeply uphill with beautiful views and then onto beautiful, often narrow forest paths.
We discovered three meadows with orchids: On the first the orchids had finished flowering, on the second a few were in bloom …

First, a steep path leads us uphill through the historic old town, then along the Langenwaldbach stream for a bit. We continue along beautiful meadow paths toward the forest, passing the Hintersteinerhof farm, always uphill. Beautiful meadows, likely soon to bloom with orchids. We continue through the romantic Degenbach valley, then downhill through the forest. We return for a short …
