April 18, 2025,Rumberg Steig mit Aussichtsfelsen Lindelskopf und Sonderwaffenlager Area One

The start of my hiking holiday in the Dahner Felsenland.

Today, the Rumberg Steig, which I extended to include the Lindelskopf rock...

Then I started at the free parking lot on Landgrafenstrasse (opposite the Gasthaus zum Landgrafen) in Ludwigswinkel.

First, I walked through the village park, with a kiosk, children's playground, barefoot park, etc.

In the morning after breakfast we can start hiking directly at the mobile home parking space. After a short time we have already reached "Area 1", a terribly oppressive area where the Americans used to store terrible weapons. It was a so-called special weapons depot for weapons of mass destruction and nuclear missiles, etc. There are said to have been …

October 11, 2021,Ludwigswinkel (Rumberg-Steig + Lindelskopf)

We have extended the PWW Rumberg-Steig with a detour to the Lindelskopf castle rock.
We ignored the diversion that was indicated at some point after the Rumberg towers because of some fallen trees on the way. Instead, we walked the beautiful original path that ran along the Guckenbühlfelsen. We liked the tour.

September 18, 2022,Ludwigswinkel: Rumbergsteig mit Lindelskopf, Area 1 [Premium-Wanderweg]

"Following the park-like floodplain of Ludwigswinkel, it goes past mighty rock towers through varied forests. Right at the beginning, the former military area, Area 1, lies twisted of the former special weapons depot of the US Army. At the end of the hike, the path leads along picturesque ponds and the lively bubbling Rösselsquelle to idyllic places that invite you …

February 18, 2023,Rumbergsteig mit Area 1 ab Ludwigswinkel

A varied tour with a highlight shortly after the start: Area1 is a real lost place and totally surprises. But also beautiful rocks, lakes, a few views and wonderfully relaxed places for a break in between. This tour is highly recommended and can also be easily managed by less athletic hikers thanks to the short and less steep climbs. Surefootedness …

I accidentally deleted it while trying to share this tour😱😭. I can't even explain how that happened - Komoot usually asks if you really want to delete...
In any case, the grief was great... but I managed to reconstruct the tour to some extent from my husband's recording. The average speed is of course wrong.
It would also be a …

A really nice tour, even if a lot of the route takes place on roads and asphalt. Would definitely run it a second time, varied and actually never boring...
