Witch's Mushroom

Highlight • Natural Monument

Not to be missed on the way to the Neudahn castle ruins. Can almost keep up with the devil's table.

Satan's Throne

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Satan's chunk and the witch's mushroom are only a few meters apart.
However, the name witch mushroom is more unequivocal than the Satan's chunk ... You can see it.

After the Hohle Felsen tour, there was a second, smaller round. The Neudahn Castle tour is one of the "walking trails". Walking probably only refers to the length. The elevation profile was more typical for a hike. Right at the beginning there is a steep climb to the Elwetritschefels, where you have a beautiful view. Then it continues on a …

April 29, 2025,Burg Neudahn - Tour Dahn

A highly recommended short tour with everything that makes the Palatinate Forest so unique: narrow, rooty and soft paths through pine forests, interesting red sandstone formations, idyllic ponds, and an old castle ruin.
I particularly liked the so-called Felsentor (rock gate) with its many cairns and the route through the Moosbachtal Nature Reserve.
