August 12, 2021,Bergwerke, Felsen & Schluchten - Runde von Wanderparkplatz Falkenstein - mit Ruine Hohenfels, Löwenbergs Ruhe, Beutelfelsen, Grüner Löwe, Katharinengruben und viel Aussicht

How many times have I just passed here on the autobahn? Countless times in 20 years when it comes home. It's almost unbelievable that I only took a closer look today at what this region has to offer. Insanely great paths through different forests, over rocks, through heather full of blooming heather. At the many places with lovingly prepared benches …

February 20, 2023,Traumtour Falkenstein Falkensteiner Schlucht Kupferberghütte Kronenbuchenhütte

Today again a dream tour this time in Donnersbergkreis
Parked at the hiking car park for Kronenbuchenhutte. After a few meters came the ruins of Falkenstein Castle, which I had all to myself today. On the way to the Falkensteiner valley, I first passed the church tower of Falkenstein. It was probably a small community if there was enough space …

Today we were out and about in the Donnersberg district. We started this beautiful round at the castle ruins of Falkenstein. Lots of beautiful views. A great variety is offered with a small climbing insert at the Falkensteiner Felsenschlucht. Really great tour. But you need a good basic level of fitness and sure-footedness. It's a few meters in altitude.

We wanted to get going really early this morning...no luck...first we didn't get out of bed and then we dawdled...so we went back to plan B and the path almost automatically led us to the Falkensteiner Gorge. From there to the Katharinatal and then we also took the Beutelfelsen...unfortunately the Kronbuchhütte was still closed, but what the heck...today is barbecue …

Hiking weather 🌞 like something out of a book, landscape 🏵🌼, and a splendor of flowers that couldn't be more beautiful. Rapeseed and broom stand out with their vibrant yellow. A dream hike at this time of year, worth repeating every year. We were both more thrilled than ever by a hike. 😄
A day to enjoy 🥰

Today I decided to go to the Donnersberg district because of the good weather forecast. Very good choice👍. We had great weather 🌞. Bit stormy, but that was ok.
At Donnersberg everyone thinks of Adlerbogen🦅.
We chose the neighborhood and explored ruins and pits. Really really interesting. And the paths were really a dream. There were also many beautiful views …

The north of the Palatinate Forest borders on the Donnersberger Land. There we made a nice hike, which I will present to you today.

We started at the hiking car park in Imsbach. The first stage was quite steep up to the Iron Man on the Beutelfels. The view from up there is super nice 🤩.
