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.

Ludwig Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the tower was built in 1889, it is said to have had a complete all-round view. Nowadays the view of the Rhine plain is blocked by trees. But you can see well to the east and north-west.

Nello Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Although it is not a cabin of the PWV, it is also worth a stop here.
Open only on Sundays.

Today there was a forest festival in Nello.

February 11, 2024,4-Hütten-Wanderung mit 4 Aussichten

I give our last hike the title “4 Hut Hike with 4 Views”.
We started in the Modenbachtal and delivered to the first hut of the tour, the Amicitiahütte. From there we continued to the second hut, the Nellohütte.

The most strenuous part of the hike was up the mountain to Kohlplatz. From the Wegspider we followed the Blattsbergweg on …

October 6, 2024,Runde durch den Pfälzer Wald bei Edenkoben

Today we spontaneously went to the Palatinate and so spontaneously to Edenkoben. The local newspaper had a circular tour around Edenkoben. That sounded good and off we went. We parked at the valley station of the Rietburgbahn. We took this chairlift up to the wild animal enclosure. From there we continued to the Ludwigsturm. Unfortunately the visibility up there was …

Nice circular tour with two climbs and five (!) opportunities to stop off on Sundays and three open restaurants on Wednesdays! This is the Palatinate Forest as we love it!

Small tour in the Palatinate.
It felt like 7 huts, 5 Palatinate spritzers and 3 meat platters 🙈
Backpack or anything else unnecessary 😎

May 25, 2026,Mädelstour: Genuss im Pfälzer Wald

Today three girls were on tour 🩷 🐕

A wonderful round with @SunshineClaudi and Shadow on shady forest paths on this hot Whit Monday ☀️☀️☀️ with many places to stop. We made ourselves comfortable for lunch at the Rietburg 😋

I saw and saved the route on @Julia on Tour. Thank you very much for sharing at this point! 💞

August 16, 2023,Auf den Blätterberg mit 613 Hm 🏋‍♀️🤓

Today I chose the Blatterberg, from the Modenbachtal upwards. Continue along the Meisenbach and become ever steeper to the Kohlplatz trail spider. This rest area is in the saddle between Kesselberg and Querenberg. Of course it went further uphill. This rooted path was very easy to hike and then, quite surprisingly, I stood in front of the Ludwigsturm, which stands …

September 28, 2025,Entspannte Wanderung

Last Sunday, we decided to go for a relaxing hike with a low elevation gain. The sunshine promised by the weather forecast unfortunately didn't accompany us, but instead, there was fog...

First, we took the Rietburgbahn cable car up the mountain – so we were already at the top 😀. From there, we walked to the Ludwigsturm tower, where we …
