Sandstone Rock Formations on the Napoleonsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Here are the Retschel rock, the railway rock and the Rauhberg in short succession, in between there are a number of other beautiful red sandstone rocks along the slope. The paths are moderate, sure-footed and good footwear should be expected.

March 1, 2024,Dahner Felsenland: eine Kombi vom Napoleon-Steig und Kaiser-Runde

One highlight follows the other on the tour. Unfortunately the weather was pretty cloudy. We were almost alone on the road.

September 25, 2023,Napoleonsteig mit Extratouren

We haven't had enough of the rocks yet. So today I walked the Napoleonsteig and added a few extra stones.
We partly followed the Dahn rock path, where there was a lot going on (too much for us).
At the end the detour to the pouch rock was very worthwhile. Pleasant way up/down. There is a bench at the top …

July 13, 2024,Rauhfelsen - Weg durch die Wand und Felsen bei Dahn

This tour is fantastic. I had copied it and saved it as a reserve. So I started the tour without any expectations.
And I have to say: I have rarely been so positively surprised by a tour. Quiet and secluded paths along small streams alternated with tough climbs and steep descents.
Cin liked it and I didn't notice her 10 …

October 5, 2023,Von Büttelwoog über den Napoleonsteig - aber wenn dann eine Rundwanderung 🤪

Let it rest for a day and then the rust has to come off. We wanted to see the much-praised Napoleon Rock and also the highly praised Premium Trail. But we don't want public transport and anyone can traipse back and forth. So the hiker looks for a nice circular hike. And what can I say: the rust is gone. …

First time in Dahn! Just wow!! Another great hike with the Ostrich Clique! Our hiking guide had planned a great route.
The weather was perfect. It rained a little at the beginning but then it dried out and the temperatures were very moderate.

May 15, 2024,Zweite, geniale Felsentour - bei Dahn/Pfalz 🪨🌳🍀🌸🙏🏽🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️

Hello, hello! What another brilliant day! 😍
Despite the clouds and the forecast for rain, we set off, of course🤩. Our hike today was a very special experience. Today's rock formations gave us pure joy and amazement! It rained again and again, but that didn't spoil our mood even once!
We started right from the hotel again, then a bit …

May 12, 2023,Dahn: Napoleon-Steig

After a good meal in the Dahner-PWV-Hütte we drove on to Bruchweiler Bärenbach and took the Napoleon-Steig under our soles.
The beginning was fantastic, many narrow paths and sandstone rocks without end, including the railway and Napoleon rocks.
After about two-thirds of the way, forest paths were more popular, but overall a nice tour that we really liked!
