Today we went up the Donnersberg and enjoyed the view from the Eagle's Arch and the Hirtenfels. It's simply magnificent every time. After the exertion, you're richly rewarded by the view and the peace and quiet on the bench.

For today we had planned to go to the Donnersberg⛰️, the highest mountain in the Palatinate, to the Adlerbogen 🦅🏹, 545m above sea level. to hike.

We drove to Dannenfels and parked our car 🚕 in a hiking parking lot 🅿️.

The weather was very sweaty at the beginning, but the view was breathtaking and there was a cool Radler at the top of the Ludwigsturm.
With this strength, the rest of the day was easy.

We just about made it, …
