Nicely designed rest area. Just do not know what it is about the tri-border region. I met a nudist hiking group here today.

Fantastic viewpoints over the largest contiguous forest area in Germany attract hikers and reward them for tours that require a certain level of fitness. The sandstone rocks are between 450 and 470 million years old.

Small refuge that is a bit off the tour. Nice view of the four castles (Ramburg, Neuscharfeneck, Trifels and Madenburg)!

A really nice hiking trail. It's great to walk here on a narrow hiking trail. It is less suitable for strollers etc.
