Keschdeweg Chestnut Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's worth coming here in autumn to collect the many, many chestnuts. Otherwise it is a beautiful hiking trail that is not difficult to walk. Also easy to do with a stroller etc.

November 24, 2024,Paul November - Pfalzausfahrt und Hambacher Schloss Runde

You head off for the weekend without a real plan. You end up on the Palatinate Wine Route, spend the night at the winemaker's farm, take part in the barbecue evening and hike along a beautiful circular path to Hambach Castle. Simply beautiful...

On a whim, due to the good weather in the Palatinate, we set off on a short hike...found in the Komoot case at @🇺🇦Schlofwandler🕊️...which once again had just the right thing in store: a leisurely walk with a view, forest, and—of course—wine spritzer. 😂From the forest parking lot, we headed
downhill on forest paths toward Hambach Castle, which we skipped. …

My anniversary hike.
The 100th hike that I planned and did. This tour lived up to the honor.
Driven up to Hambach Castle by car. The € 2 parking fee is ok. Didn't want to go down the mountain in the dark.
My idea worked.
Sunset from Hambach Castle.
Before that, great paths in a beautiful autumn forest.
Delicious Palatinate …

Spontaneous is always best. Unless ☝️ the weather is not in a good mood and is very changeable 🌤🌦 🌬 🌧 🌦 ⛅️ plus light hail. 🫣 You should check the weather report from time to time 🤷‍♀️. A motivational challenge. The approx. 10 km tour with 380 m ascent:

June 13, 2023,Pfalz: Von Maikammer über Hohe Loog Haus zum Hambacher Schloß

Since we couldn't start until the afternoon when the temperatures were high, we actually only wanted to walk a short distance. But the beautiful shady forest paths in the Palatinate Forest tempted us to take a slightly longer tour. Disadvantage, as always, that almost all huts in the Palatinate Forest are only open on Wednesdays and weekends. Even the actually …

Unfortunately, the recording stopped after the coffee break 🍰☕️ at the Klausentalhütte.

It was definitely a great tour with a delicious food break and surprisingly good weather 🌞👍.

Continued in Part 2.
