Trip into the green: A day at the "Behler Haisl" Anyone looking for a perfect mix of exercise, nature, and Palatinate coziness in the Kurpfalz region or around Böhl-Iggelheim will sooner or later find their way to the Behler Haisl – the local nature lovers' house on the edge of the large community forest. The journey is the destination: Starting into nature Our little excursion begins in the late morning with brilliant sunshine. The thermometer shows pleasant temperatures, and a light breeze rustles through the treetops. We decide on a loop that perfectly combines a walk and enjoyment of nature. The path first leads us over well-maintained field paths and past wide meadows, until the trail draws us directly into the cool, shady green of the community forest. The air smells of damp earth, pine needles, and summer. Those who wish can simply follow the signposted walking or hiking trails – it's hard to get lost here, as almost all paths sooner or later cross the beloved destination of the locals. Between stop and relaxation: The Behler Haisl After a wonderfully relaxed walk (alternatively, the hut can also be reached comfortably by bike or via field paths), it finally appears between the trees: the Behler Haisl. The atmosphere here is exactly what you expect from a rustic hut in the countryside: casual, warm, and down-to-earth. Whether you settle down on the inviting benches outside or find a seat in the cozy dining room – you feel welcome immediately. Palatinate specialties and enjoyment After the walk, of course, your stomach will rumble. The kitchen does not disappoint: alongside popular classics and hearty snacks, the regional and seasonal daily specials on weekends are particularly tempting. With a cool "Schorle" (a drink made of fruit juice and sparkling water) and a hearty refreshment, you can linger and chat wonderfully here, while the colorful hustle and bustle of hikers, cyclists, and families surrounds you. Detour to the water: To the Niederwiesen- and Kellmetschweiher Well-fortified, we start our way back, but not without a small detour. Just a short walk from the nature lovers' house lie the Niederwiesen-Weiher and the picturesque Kellmetschweiher. The glittering water in the sunlight forms the perfect conclusion to our excursion. The idyllic shores invite you to linger, take a deep breath, and watch the waterfowl. Conclusion The Behler Haisl is more than just an excursion restaurant – it's a real piece of the region's lifestyle. Anyone looking for a few relaxing hours away from everyday life, wanting to enjoy nature on their doorstep and be pampered with good food, is in exactly the right place. A small short break right on the edge of the city!

The distance between the two iron clamps is exactly 54.9 cm, according to the information board. To avoid disputes, everyone was able to take precise measurements. This way, the "Worms Elbow" will no longer be carelessly overlooked. And indeed, tourists and passersby regularly stop to admire the Elbow. [Q: bistummainz.de]
