Highlight • Trail

A great path up to the flag tower. Beautiful view over the vineyards. Unfortunately, it was a bit overgrown.

The viewing platform offers a wonderful view over the Rhine plain and the Palatinate Forest with Limburg and the Bismarck Tower. Even today, the flag tower is still an attraction for many visitors on nice days.

Sunny Ridge Trail

Highlight • Trail

I love this trail in every season. The ground is nice and soft. Especially beautiful, of course, when the heather is in bloom. I always find the forest scent there to be very intense.

January 1, 2025,Flaggenturm – Klosterruine Limburg Runde von Bad Dürkheim Bahnhof (RHB)

Bad Dürkheim is definitely worth this hike. There is not only the giant barrel and the sausage market... Recommended!!! Especially when the weather is clear and there is some sun, a beautiful panorama...

Today we took the train 🚈 to Bad Dürkheim (free with the guest card). Our tour, which was through fine woods this time, started from the train station 🚉, first to the flag tower and then to the Limburg monastery ruins (open-air concerts take place here in summer). The paths mostly ran through shady forest 🌳🌳🌳. It was wonderful. 😀 …

November 21, 2021,Klosterzauber 🎅🏼🎄Ruine Limburg- Runde von Bad Dürkheim ❤️

Once again stumbled upon a kind of romantic Christmas market on the Limburg monastery ruins by accident. Named: monastery magic
Open during the week in the evenings from 4.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. during the opening times of the restaurant. Delicious mulled wine, spritzer and snacks are offered outside. 😊Beautifully lit, great atmosphere, historical ambience! It's on the program again …
