Northwest Blankenborn, between Abtskopf and Katzeneck. Landmark on the Abts head, north of Blankenborn. The knight stone stands on an oak tree, but it should indicate the occurrence of wild cats in this area. It is not clear if there are still wild cats in this area. Until the 20th century, she was hunted and nearly exterminated for her predator behavior.

Silzer Lime Tree and Ritterstein No. 34

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Silzer Linde is a very tall linden that gave this place its name; And right now in the spring, the fresh lime green is fantastic to look at. The refuge Silzer Linde is in good condition and the homonymous Ritterstein No. 34 was under financial support of the Palatine Forest Association e. V. restored. From the place of Silzer Linde walking trails go in all directions.

Ascent to the Friedenskapelle (Peace Chapel)

Highlight • Trail

In the middle of the Palatinate Forest Nature Park there is actually an approx. 1 km long stainless steel railing as an aid to ascending/descending to the Peace Chapel. Who likes it? To me it seemed like a foreign body, although I don't want to question the need for a railing, just the way it was done.
