If you want to go from Rietburg to Hilschweiher See, I definitely recommend taking the trail over Schägerstein because it's really great!

Rietburg Chairlift

Highlight • Rest Area

"It was better to drive bad than well!" Fun - the ride in the rustic chair lift I really liked. Reminded me of my Alpine holidays as a child.

Edenkoben Hut at the Hüttenbrunnen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In addition to the good spritzer, there is also a nice hand cheese with music and, of course, who wants coffee and cake.

December 10, 2022,Ungeplant und doch so schä😍🚶‍♀️🐆☁️

After the stressful night shift, it should only be a small round today. Actually, I had planned the spring hiking trail near Edenkoben. On the way there, the sun was shining so beautifully that I stopped at the next parking lot and didn't drive any further into the dark valley😝. I had no signal and so we just walked in …

"At home" today 🥰
As the beautiful chairlift up to Rietburg 🏰 is celebrating its 70th birthday this year, it of course had to be included in the hike 😉 and by the way, we saved altitude with 31 degrees 🌞🌞 today 😁 After the beautiful view 👀 from the castle 🏰 into the Rhine plain, we then went comfortably …

Despite the forecast for rain, we took the risk and it was worth it. A few drops kept coming in between, but that was easy to do. The food at the Rietburg is delicious and the staff is very friendly. The portions are oversized! It's always plentiful in the Palatinate, but I don't think it's desirable that half of them …

May 9, 2025,Lecker Frühstück in Rodt, Fahrt mit der Rietburgbahn und durch das Edenkobener Tal zurück

Today, Bettina and I had a truly indulgent day. First, we had a delicious breakfast at Café Ludwig I. We had a lot to talk about, after all, we hadn't seen each other in a while. Afterwards, we parked below Villa Ludwigshöhe. It has now emerged from its packaging and is now showing off its new splendor 👍😊. Of course, …

December 31, 2023,31.12.23....100. Tour in 2023 🎉

I still made it...100. Tour in 2023.

Anja accompanied me and that was great.
The beginning of the tour was very difficult and took about an hour.

The start should be at the parking lot at the Rietburg chairlift.
But major construction site at Villa Ludwigshöhe. There was no way to get on the planned route.
With other hikers, we …
