Witches of Hexenklamm

Highlight • Gorge

On the route through the gorge you can often discover witches in various places. But please also pay attention to the path, because it is narrow and steep.

Along the last section of the Hexenklammrunde, the path comes up with a quaint stream that offers dogs and children a welcome change before going steeply up the mountain.

Nice round, but with bad weather or a longer rainy period, the paths are very muddy...

Small, easy tour (68 points) Definitely go clockwise, then you have the best view of the great gorge. The landscape is very beautiful. The abandoned huts, equipment, etc., which often rot away, are not so nice in the first section of the route.

October 19, 2023,Pirmasens: Hexenklamm [Premium-Wanderweg]

"A premium trail whose extraordinary sights give it its name. Short and sweet, the circular tour leads over heights with sensational panoramic views over Pirmasens and neighboring France, through water-rich valleys to the legendary Hexenklamm.

This legend tells of a wagoner who, loaded and probably a little drunk, drove through the gorge towards home at night. Witches played a cruel …

The gorge is very beautiful. But you can skip the rest of the trail. So it's best to go down the gorge once and back up again! 😀

May 1, 2022,Hexenklamm

Of course, the Hexenklamm is really great. Personally, I found the descent through the forest valley to the Forellengrund very beautiful. Really a very nice short hike. A stop at the Eichelsbacher Mühle was actually planned. Unfortunately, I was a bit early (the restaurants only open at 12 noon on weekends).

8 - 18 °C, hazy, partly sunny.

Today I actually hiked (almost against my nature) a standard premium hiking trail in the recommended direction. 😂

From the Gersbach sports field at the new cemetery to Winzeln, but shortly before that turn off to the SW to the Forellengrund, following the Winzlertalbach to the Felsalbe, past the Eichelsbacher Mühle to the …

Natural rock valley gorge

In the Hexenklamm near Pirmasens

Rich in contrast, the path first leads through wide fields with bright blossoms in spring, then through the wild Hexenklamm. A narrow path meanders through the natural gorge, a witch riding on a broom suitably shows the way.

April 25, 2024,Zwei auf einen Streich: Die Hexen🧙klamm ⛅️🚶🏼‍♀️🧙

Finally another day of hiking with Juliet! Our previous Thursdays were cancelled due to vacation reasons...
After heavy rainfall recently and not so sunny views on the day itself, we chose the Hexenklamm in the hope of small waterfalls. We were not disappointed....😍
We parked at the Eichelbachermühle (hiking car park behind the bus stop) to hike uphill through the …
