The path leads through two consecutive rock breakthroughs. But be careful, the headroom is very limited.

April 25, 2026,🚶🏼‍♀️Hahnenbachtal, aber nur ein Stückle, um die Pfälzer zu treffen

I had to work today and unfortunately missed the first hiking day with PWV Insheim. But I drove after them and hopped towards my wonderful fellow hikers 😂
