Palatine Forest Trail (Pfälzer Waldpfad)

Spectacular cliffs and above all: forest as far as the eye can see.

Spectacular rock formations, deep valleys, and above all: Forest, as far as the eye can see. That’s what the Palatine Forest Trail offers over the course of 145 km!

The extensive stretches of forest, the tranquillity and beauty of a nature that is still mostly untouched, give the hiker strength and a feeling of calm.

The House of Sustainability can be visited on the Johanniskreuz, providing interesting information on the topic of humans and nature.

A lasting impression is left by the overwhelming view from the top of the Luitpold Tower at the summit of the Weißenberg, where more than 300 peaks can be seen. And if your hiking boots have given up the ghost, you are sure to find a new pair in the show metropolis of Hauenstein, near Pirmasens.

In the Dahner rock landscape the Forest Trail leads though a wild, romantic landscape, past bizarre rock formations. Then the Drachenfels ruins, with its entrances hewn into the rock, and Berwartstein Castle – the epitome of castle romanticism!

Multi-stage hike with alternating hotels and luggage transfer. Palatine Forest Trail total length ca. 145 km.
