Schniddelfelsen Viewpoint

The Hans-Trapp-Weg leads almost past it. A short detour is worth it. From up there one of the most beautiful views of Berwartstein Castle

Frauenwoog Picnic Area

Highlight • Lake

Great place, but everything is privately owned. The many signs point this out.
Don't know if the owner would agree to that.
We respected that and looked for another way to take our snack break.

Seehofweiher Bathing Lake

Highlight • Lake

Certainly great to cool off in summer. In autumn, the "big boys" let their model boats whiz across the lake here. The lake also invites you to take a break on your bike tour.

May 21, 2023,Hans Trapp Wanderweg Burg Berwartstein 🏰

Very nice hiking trail on mostly relatively wide paths. Low single trail share.
A stop at the Burgschänke is highly recommended - ideally at the end of the tour 😊

It starts in the center of town or like today at the cemetery parking lot 🅿️
There is also an information board at the bus stop and a beautiful beer …

February 15, 2025,HANS TRAPP TOUR - 15-02-2025

This hike was a good idea today with 2 degrees and slightly cloudy skies. There are a few parking spaces at the starting point in Erlenbach. The tour is continuous and well signposted. After a short sunken lane out of the village, you turn sharply left into the forest and uphill on a narrow path until you get your first …

Today we were in Erlenbach near Dahn on the Hans Trapp Tour. The tour starts in the parking lot below Berwartstein Castle and initially took us up a few meters to the Schniddelfelsen. From there there was a magnificent view of Berwartstein Castle 🏰.

Today the Hans Trapp Tour was due. Beautiful circular hiking trail with a wonderful view of Berwartstein Castle. A visit to the castle is definitely worth it.
Really great!

October 20, 2024,🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼Hans-Trapp-Tour

As a robber baron, Hans Trapp still haunts the legendary world of Wasgau and Alsace. It is not certain whether he really attacked wealthy nobles and traders. But the legend lives on.
The path leads past numerous lakes, with a short but steep climb to the Kleinfrankreich tower and the still inhabited Berwartstein castle. A guided tour is worthwhile. At …

May 23, 2026,Burg Berwartstein mit kleiner Runde über Lauterschwan

Burg Berwartstein was recommended to me ages ago and yesterday I finally went there. Normally there is a short introduction about some peculiarities of the castle in the well hall, but since there were so many people there, I was a bit lucky and got the complete tour and a lot more interesting information about the castle and some stories …
