June 16, 2022,Runde um und übern Donnersberg

In the Pälzer high mountains there was a pleasant breeze almost everywhere today, so the tour was easy to master despite the general heat. Roughly followed the Pfälzer Höhenweg via Hermitenklause, Adlerbogen, Ludwigsturm, Kronbuchenhütte and Kupferberghütte to the end.

June 9, 2025,Pfalz: auf dem Keltischen Skulpturenweg und dem Pfälzer Höhenweg rund um den Donnersberg

The Donnersberg is definitely worth a visit. The Celtic Sculpture Trail is well worth seeing. The view from the Ludwig Tower is fantastic. The kiosk at the foot of the tower is also a highlight. Here you can get everything from honey to smoked sausage.

We ran this tour last year in thick fog. Back then we hardly saw anything, so we repeated the tour today when the weather was better. And it was worth it. Nice Saturday tour.

Father's Day motto:
"Running🚶‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️, instead of drinking 🍻"
Today's tour took us to the Donnersberg. This route has been in my saved tours for two years now. I've expanded and replanned it a bit from time to time (mostly on the Palatinate High Trail), but always with the goal of visiting the Eagle's Bow.
The Donnersberg near Dannenfels in the …

April 6, 2024,Adlerbogen – Königstuhl, Donnersberg Runde von Imsbach

A beautiful circuit on the Donnersberg, the Keltenberg. The Palatinate High Trail follows the sculpture trail for a while to the Ludwigsturm on the summit, past the Adlerbogen with great views of the Rhine plain. It continues to the Kronenbuchhütte, which is open at certain times. It goes through lovely valleys with heavenly peace and quiet back to the starting …

Another to-do off my list today. The eagle bow had been there for a long time.
I started in Falkenstein at the castle. The first highlight was the iron man with a great view. Then we went to the hermitage. Then we continued towards Adlerbogen, a beautiful place. When I was about to leave there, I decided to read a …
