Keschdeweg Chestnut Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's worth coming here in autumn to collect the many, many chestnuts. Otherwise it is a beautiful hiking trail that is not difficult to walk. Also easy to do with a stroller etc.

You will miss the Hambach Castle at this place.
It is just one of the many possibilities in the vineyards from which you can see the castle well.

December 3, 2023,🚶‍♀️🚶🏻🦮 Mit Oli und Lotta zur Wiege der Demokratie

Today I was out with my friend @Oliver and the adorable Lotta. Since Oli has never been to Hambach Castle, we walked up there today. It was wonderfully beautiful in the sun and Lotta had fun too. She would have loved to high-five every tree (then she would get a treat 😂). The way back was cool, but there was …

March 29, 2023,DEU-PB: Maikammer - Klausentalhütte - Zeter Berghaus - Hambacher Schloss

Today I had to walk alone and chose a tour for it, which kept falling down the back,
because in contrast to the Hinterwald you are rarely alone here, which has often kept us from it.

At the Klausentalhütte it felt like 50 - 100 not exactly quiet kindergarten children looking for Easter eggs 😊
But it was nice to …

May 17, 2023,DEU-PB: Hambach - Hambacher Schloss - Zeter Berghaus

Today there was a recent tour in the opposite direction.
We parked at the Diedesfeld hiking car park and hiked up the steep craftsmen's path to Hambach Castle.
From there we walked the beautiful and level Keschde hiking trail to the Zeter Berghaus.
Inside we even got a nice place with a view of the Rhine plain.
As a Palatinate …

We really wanted to show our visit from the Upper Palatinate something special. The Hambach Castle seemed suitable to us, but we had underestimated the strength of the castle on a beautiful autumn weekend. It was full and still beautiful! After we were on the trail of democracy at the beginning, we then enjoyed the "Keschdeweg" and in the Klausental …

Great parking lot at the outskirts of Maikammer directly on Kalmithöhenstrasse. From there the wine trail leads to the Klausentalhütte. On the Keschdeweg it's a moderate walk to "Zeters Berghaus" and on to Hambacher Castle.

September 17, 2025,Zum Hambacher Schloss und drum herum

Every day we looked up at Hambach Castle. So it was time to hike up.

First, a narrow, quite steep path led to slightly more comfortable trails. Once we reached the castle, we walked around it a bit, and then went inside.

Some tours you plan... and some just turn out well. This one clearly belongs to the second category.
The starting point is the Disson winery, where not only our friends from Frankfurt are waiting for us, but also our parking spot, a kind of base camp with a view of enjoyment.

October 2, 2025,Keschdeweg 4.2: Maikammer - Hambacher Schloss

The Keschde (sweet peas) were rather sparse today. The quantity of the delicious fruit also left something to be desired. However, there were two places to stop for refreshments, and we took advantage of both: the Zeter Berghaus with its magnificent view and the Klausentalhütte with its down-to-earth food and drinks. So, not much Keschde, but plenty of provisions 😄
