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.

Nice path along the Triefenbach from Hilschweiher to the Gasthaus Hüttenbrunnen. At the inn, be sure to walk about 100 meters up the mountain to see the springs that spring up there. Worthwhile.👍

September 15, 2024,Friedensdenkmal – Blick auf St. Martin Runde von Weyher in der Pfalz

This was the most beautiful hike I have done in the southern Palatinate so far. Lots of places to stop for a break, and twice there was a lake. Then there was a chairlift, the Rietburgbahn. The path was very beautiful through vineyards and then through the chestnut forest, but also challenging.

July 18, 2025,St. Martin - Waldgaststätte Friedensdenkmal Edenkoben

The evening before, we were recommended the forest restaurant at the Edenkoben Peace Memorial. This is how the circular tour there came about.
On wonderful hiking trails, first along the Kropsbach stream to the Sandwiesenweiher pond, where we tackle an obstacle course to admire the aurochs breeding. At the hut by the spruce trees, we treat ourselves to a beer, …

July 11, 2024,Hüttentour bei St. Martin

Auf geht’s zu einer gemütlichen Tour rund um den Hochberg bei Sankt Martin – heute zwar ohne Gipfel, trotzdem mit einigen saftigen Anstiegen. In Sankt Martin fahren wir die Totenkopfstraße bis zum Wanderparkplatz beim Haus an den Fichten (Bus: St. Martin, Stauweiher), nur um sofort in entgegengesetzter Richtung dem grün-weißen Balken talabwärts zu folgen. Nach wenigen Metern zweigt diese links …

July 9, 2022,Von Haus an den Fichten über Hilschweiher zum Friedensdenkmal und zur Wappenschmiede

Nice tour. Great trail along the creek. Highlight for me, the waterfall at Hilschweiher. Very nicely laid out. Ate a very good Schlemmerburger in the Wappenschmiede, as well as a great Riesling. We recommend!

April 10, 2024,Um den Hochberg mit Einkehr auf der Kropsburg

Many sights in a short distance. The Triefenbach with Hilschweiher and the Sandwiesenweiher on the Kropsbach. At Ottilienberg we went down the Way of the Cross to Kropsburg, stopping off in the beer garden of the Burgschenke. The last highlight was the Peace Monument, from where you have a great view of the Rhine plain.
