Four circular hiking trails from Oberbrombach, meaning (apart from the small R1 variant) more or less identically down into the Nahe valley and back, either shorter or a bit longer....
Our tour is ultimately a "colorful" mix of R2, 3, and 4.
We have thus combined all the highlights of the nearby surroundings

No. we just can't get enough of the Hunsrück....
While spring was entirely dedicated to Traumschleifen and the completion of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, after the heat (hopefully!!!) we are already back in the Idar.Oberstein area.
We need to ease back into walking, this summer hasn't been kind to us.

Between 1834 and 1861, the imposing Germersheim fortress was built on the orders of the Bavarian King Ludwig I as a "bulwark against France". The largest Bavarian fortress outside of Bavaria still shines in its full glory today. In the war of 1870/71, Germersheim gained strategic importance, as the operations

In February of this year we had already set off for Gleisweiler once, and now, after rain that was overdue for weeks, the vines and the grapes, which will soon be ready for harvest, lured us to the Sonnentempel again.
Part of the trail follows the tracks of the Böchinger Gemarkungsrunde, and so we learned

We are "stranded" ... in the heat of a (hopefully) exceptional summer and our van, which could take us to pleasantly cooler areas, is waiting for a workshop appointment.
No, this is not our "temperature level" for our favorite activity, hiking, and so - out of necessity, so to speak - there is a still

Time for... Oberwesel...
Oberwesel is always a beautiful starting point or end destination for a hike on the romantic Rhine, and often enough the urban impressions remain "by the wayside" and one or another "corner" undiscovered.
We are currently in a kind of summer hiking break, so a good opportunity

So ... with this stage on the pilgrimage trail, there are already good reasons to consider the trail virtually complete.
At the start in Idar-Oberstein, there is a passage that deviates from the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig stage we walked and from Bingerbrück actually up to the monastery of Eibingen and yes

Another stage on the pilgrimage trail of St. Hildegard ...
After the "experience" or the experience of the Höhenweg in the Nordpfälzer Bergland, we decided on this, virtually the final stage, to be back on (beautiful) forest and hiking trails.
And this route has truly not disappointed us.
We have learned

This also closes the gap and we have completely walked the Pfälzer Höhenweg in 8 stages (as always planned with public transport).
Here is the now complete Collection:

This tour can once again be described as an "Über `s Land Tour".

So... now the second half of the "last" stage has also been walked and our truly last stage on the Pfälzer Höhenweg will be the "gap closure", which we will tackle with public transport planned from Bad Kreuznach.
The route from Lauterecken to Wolfstein had pleased us the most, so we were curious whether

Following the "Wanderbares Deutschland" page, the 7th stage of the Pfälzer Höhenweg from Lauterecken to Wolfstein would cover a total of around 21 km with over 700 vertical meters and, near Wolfstein, you run once again around and over the Selberg...
With these midsummer temperatures and generally the

We have moved our "residence" to Lauterecken for a continuation of the Höhenweg and I think the corresponding, currently still incomplete, Collection already provides an overview.

So ... for us the fourth stage on the Höhenweg and thus also "half-time" according to our planning ...
and this stage has pleased us the most so far.
Admittedly, without any really big highlights (compared to the previous day's tour with the Adlerbogen), but the first stage that could appeal to us more

So, this stage is the "highlight" of the Pfälzer Höhenweg, at least the highest point of the Palatinate is crossed with 687m with the summit "Königsstuhl" on the Donnersberg.
We have again reversed the direction of travel in order to reach the Donnersberg at the end of the tour and to be able to use the

Yes... there are reasons why we have now returned after an extensive spring in the Idar-Oberstein area.
The Felsenkirche is again accessible as part of a guided tour and the paths up to Obersteiner Schloss are (at least partially) passable again.
And so today we had the visit to the Felsenkirche on our
