In principle a nice tour, unfortunately the first half is very busy without many highlights. A number of viewpoints have also grown over by now, but in the second half the path ignites a highlight fireworks display with all the rocks and views.

You can definitely walk!

Today we had to wait until 2pm to start this tour but it was really worth it!
Beautiful mountain paths, a long path over the ridge of the Höllenberg.
Finally it wasn't windy and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful hikes of this year's holiday in the Palatinate.

The Höllenberg circuit for warming up in the Palatinate Forest - it's not that bad. Easy paths and steeper climbs, hiking on the ridge with sandstone rocks, actually always in the forest and from time to time beautiful views. So a typical Pfälerwald hike.

I've had my eye on the tour for a while, after Kauai was there last week I thought now you have to go there too, and what can I say the tour gets full marks from me. Everything was great.

Today we were on the road again in the Palatinate, only with a completely new cast...Natalie and her son and Kalle and I.
It was a wonderful hike that meanders through the forest in a varied way, with great rock formations.
Unfortunately we weren't so lucky with the sun, but the fog and hoarfrost looked all the more beautiful and …

October 19, 2023,🥾 Pfalz: Spirkelbacher Höllenberg-Tour 👹

Since we enjoyed yesterday's mountain ridge hike so much, we went on a ridge hike again today and hiked the Spirkelbacher Höllenberg tour. The tour wasn't as bad as the name might suggest, at least we didn't go through hell while hiking this premium hiking trail. Quite the opposite: the tour was varied and beautiful.
From the hiking car park …

Full of the Kalinchen weekend. Today we were traveling with husband (Kallinche and Kalle) and child (mine 😂). This was a nice combo for hiking. The sun didn't come out as much as we hoped, but it was there 😀. And the way was just so nice to walk. I looked in vain for the bell button at the top …
