Wayside Cross and Memorial in the Palatinate Forest

Highlight • Religious Site

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

Celtic Burial Mound in the Palatinate Forest

Highlight • Historical Site

According to the information sign on the side of the path, there is a Celtic grave 20 meters away from the path.
Except for an overgrown hill with a few stones on it, there is no evidence of a Celtic grave.
You have to rely on your imagination :-)

But there is also a second Celtic grave

If you look closely, you can also see beautiful small bizarre stone figures by Udo Weilacher. This Celtic tomb is absolutely worth a visit.

Celtic Grave With Weilacher's Whimsical Guardians

Highlight • Historical Site

This Celtic grave is one of three known to me.
In contrast to the other two tombs, from my point of view this grave is not only interesting because of the history of the Celts.

If you look closely you can see different bizarre figures peeking out of the undergrowth and thorns.
Are they visitors, guards or scouts made of stone ???
Only Udo Weilacher, the creator, can explain that.
Thank you for the idea, realization and placement of these great stone figures !!!!

Druid Plateau (Rock slab)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Sacred place of the Celts - the mountain of the healers.
Some say that to guard and preserve the Celtic way of life and healing arts, hundreds gather on and around the mountain every night.

Others say that the daily fresh tracks are simply caused by wild boar.
What a rude lack of spirituality and imagination.

Since I set off late, I only did a short loop nearby. I didn't expect much from the trail (and rightly so). The path led along wide, slightly snow-covered forest tracks, past a few ancient burial mounds. There were also two memorial stones.

You can walk this path, but you don't have to. The weakest of the "enigmatic signs of the times" I've walked so far. The section that ran parallel to the freeway wasn't pretty and just very noisy. I've walked the Waldgeister section before, but unfortunately most of them are no longer there.
