Ludwig Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the tower was built in 1889, it is said to have had a complete all-round view. Nowadays the view of the Rhine plain is blocked by trees. But you can see well to the east and north-west.

Schänzelturm on the Steigerkopf

Highlight • Monument

In 1795 there was a battlefield below the Schänzel Tower. Two large memorial stones commemorate this. On the further way there are several carved stones that refer to the battle.

St. Anna Chapel with View of the Rhine Plain

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel can already be seen from the A65 and from the top you have a nice view of the Rhine Valley.
In the evening it is illuminated.

April 5, 2024,Birthday Ride Südpfalz 🎉🍾

For @Criz Eyes's birthday we went to the Southern Palatinate. It's always great to bike in the South Palatinate. A true trail paradise.

It was great that the whole group got together again @Lambert Lange, @Michel 6.0 and Frank.

It was great, guys!
