This hike is essentially a much shorter version of the "Palatinate Hut Tour".
The first part of this tour mostly runs along beautiful, narrow paths. After the Landauer Hut, however, it is almost exclusively farm tracks and asphalt roads.

Today's tour comes from the Palatinate Forest Newsletter. I took the wrong path at the beginning, there is a narrow path that goes up from the car park. Then you don't have to walk through the undergrowth. Before my vacation I wanted to go into the forest one more time and have a nice view. So I got up early …

Orensfels was definitely too low today or there were too many clouds to be able to look at the fog in the sunlight; too bad 😢
Nevertheless, I had a special experience that still makes me smile. 😊
At the forest shower (it was about 8:15 a.m.) I met a woman with her two dogs, who actually began to undress... …

The starting point of my hike was Albersweiler. The wine village is located in the Queichtal between Haardt and Wasgau and can look back on an eventful history. A canal was built from here in 1688 to build the Landau Fortress. Stones from Albersweiler were transported to Landau by ship.
My path led past the castle through the “big valley” …
