The multi-peaked Winschert ridge north of Gräfenstein Castle ruins entices with varied paths towards Johanniskreuz, wide views, and a real highlight on its western summit: From the 521-meter-high Vorderen Winschertkopf, the mighty Winschert rock opens up a dreamlike view over Merzalben, the castle ruins, and the vast forests of the Pfälzerwald – easily accessible via the „Pfälzer Waldpfad“ trail.

Quite demanding on the uphill due to the incline and the ground. Downhill is fun, but for the most part without any challenges - except for the brakes, of course ... ;-)

Mountain biking

the climb is demanding - the view and tranquility, however, compensate.
Going down the mountain is fun even for the inexperienced
