Eistal Viaduct (Eistalviadukt)

Highlight • Bridge

The Eistal Viaduct over the 395 country road at Eiswoog between Ramsen and Enkenbach-Alsenborn is the longest railway bridge in the Palatinate with a length of 271 meters. The steel girder bridge was built in 1932 and was in use until 1988. Since then, the section of the line over the viaduct has been closed.

Seehaus Forelle at Eiswoog

Highlight • Restaurant

Delicious food (note: the restaurant is a bit upscale, but price-performance ratio suits me). There is also a small snack bar at the lake (French fries, Saumagen rolls, etc., coffee and cake, ice cream, ...)
There you sit comfortably and you can even swim in the lake.

Bench with a view of the Eiswoog

Highlight • Viewpoint

Particularly beautiful: Here you can see almost the entire Eiswoog - right up to the hotel-restaurant "Seehaus Forelle Haeckenhaus".

View of the Eistal Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mighty bridge - high above the northern Eiswoog - the access to the bridge is blocked to the fences, which is certainly good, but I would have been interested in how the view from the top down to the Eiswoog.

Eiswoog Station (Stumpfwald Railway)

Highlight • Structure

The Hentschel locomotive of the former Army Feldbahn (H: F), which has already been restored three times, is the highlight of the Stumpfwaldbahn. An army field railway locomotive is a special war locomotive for use on army field railways. -
With a year of construction from 1939, our Henschel Fabia is one of the younger and last steam locomotives. In the same year it was delivered to the German Wehrmacht for the Rehagen railway pioneers as HF 5 026. In 1946 it was parked near Nuremberg with many other HF locomotives. The machines were sold there as bridge goods. In 1947 her last years of work began in the Bavarian lignite industry in Schwandorf-Wackersdorf (Upper Palatinate) until 1960. She was parked with two other Henschel machines at scrap dealer Eckhard Schwarzenfeld (Upper Palatinate). In 1981 it was found there, bought up and made ready for operation again through laborious work. In 1982 she was able to drive on her own for the first time in Frankfurt's Rebstockpark (FFM). In 2018 we were able to acquire and transfer the steam locomotive. At the age of over 80, she is now panting along our route and enthuses young and old. Source: Stumpfwaldbahn

August 17, 2025,Eiswoog Seeufer-Biergarten – Eiswoog Runde von Eiswoog

A lovely walk in the forest, mostly along the Eiswoog. With the perfect weather, there was a lot going on today. To finish off, we had half a smoked salmon trout with a bread roll and horseradish from the kiosk. Full of bones, for a hefty €11, I wouldn't eat it again. The beer garden, however, is beautifully situated by …

On our numerous hikes across Germany and Europe, we admittedly often ignored warning and closure signs (once even with serious consequences), but today was different. While still on the promenade at Eiswoog, an ambulance with flashing blue lights approached from the direction of Märzbachweiher. Whether the accident that must have occurred there was actually related to the warning sign above …

A small but nice loop around the Eiswoog in the Stumpfwald between Alsenborn and Ramsen. The 2.7-hectare reservoir, Eiswoog, means "reservoir of ice". Stumpfwald and Eiswoog belonged to the Ramsen convent, founded in 1146, which created reservoirs in several valleys as fish ponds. Later it belonged to Ludwig von Gienanth, who used the "Eisenwoog" as a water reservoir for his …
