Euphemia Anna 🌳
September 9, 2021, An den Drei Eichen Trailhead & Shelter

There is only such a quaint rest area in the Palatinate Forest: with a shelter hut belonging to the Palatinate Forest Association (from 1913), several seating groups (with tables) and two old oaks; the third oak in the bunch apparently had to be felled. Several new oaks were planted for this. And everything is neatly fenced with wooden stakes.

"In 1927, the municipality of Freinsheim decided to build a forester's lodge at the entrance to its approximately 436 hectare forest. At that time, the Bismarksturm on the 480m high Peterskopf had already stood for a quarter of a century. The forester's lodge received its name from the former head forester Lindemann.

Great destination between Leistadt and Höningen. Small indoor area, large outdoor area with a small schnapps hut .... which invites you to hut evenings in winter, the campfire and the offered grill specialties round off the whole thing. There is a large parking lot on site, usually overcrowded on a good day, so there is usually wild parking. Many well-marked hiking trails around, the Bismarck Tower and TV Tower are the closest. The Monster Lake for people with more fitness.

Hikers' parking lot at the 3 oaks is the starting point for many great hikes Hausen, Hardenburg, Wachenheim, Seebach are nearby places. The Poppental leads to Wachenheim, the Eppental towards Hausen and Hardenburg. If you walk towards Hammelstalbrunnen, sooner or later you will end up at Lambertskreuz .... one of the largest PWV huts in the area.
