One of the best viewpoints in the Palatinate Forest — a sweeping panorama over the vineyard plain stretching all the way to the Rhine and beyond. The rocky outcrop at the castle makes this spot especially dramatic and photogenic.

On Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the village shop with a café in the old town hall building, situated on a traffic island in Weyher, is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. https://dorfleben-weyher.de/ But even when the café with its small shop is closed, it's worth looking at the building from the outside at least.

I particularly like the Kesselberg; it's a place of peace and seclusion, with a touch of a fairytale forest. A visit is worthwhile any time of year.

A beautiful, easy-going trail at a constant elevation over the broad ridge of the Kesselberg. Only the final stretch toward Konrad Reges Hut is very steep, but it can be bypassed via wide forest paths. It's especially beautiful in spring, when the blueberry bushes bloom in vibrant light green.

"The idea of building a grotto in the community forest and placing a statue of the Virgin Mary there came from Jakob Simon, who worked as a chaplain in Weyher in 1903/04. It was intended to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma "Mary - Immaculate Conception" on December 8, 1854. According to church doctrine, Mary was born without the stain of original sin, which all other people carry through the guilt of Adam and Eve. [...] On Trinity Sunday, May 29, 1904, Pastor Adam Christmann consecrated the statue. Then the entire parish of Weyher went 'in solemn procession into the forest' [...]. In 1932/33, the Catholic Young Men's Association put the idea into practice and gave the complex its current appearance. On Kerwe Tuesday 1932, the young men began work on the grotto, which lasted until the spring of 1933. Blasting had to be carried out to expand the space in front of the grotto. [...] On Ascension Day, May 25, 1933, the inauguration was to be celebrated with a large festival, namely with the annual youth rally of the Catholic young men's associations of the Landau - Bad Bergzabern district. That year, the young men's associations celebrated the 600th anniversary of their main church, the Mariendom in Altenberg, and the church celebrated the 75th anniversary of the apparitions in Lourdes. To the initiators' amazement, over 3,000 young men accepted the invitation - normally around 500 people attended the rally. By taking part, they also wanted to demonstrate their rejection of National Socialism. [...] It was the last major Catholic rally in the southern Palatinate before the National Socialists banned all demonstrations of dissidents."
