Here once stood a Pottasch hut. In addition to the production of resin, pitch and charcoal, potash was also produced in many places in the Palatinate Forest. Potash is a white, granular, salt-like mass that attracts water in the air and is now called potassium carbonate (K2 CO3). Today a knight stone reminds of it.

White Stone

Highlight • Trail

If you reach the "White Stone", you have the possibility to get off at the Oppauer Haus or at the Hammelsbrunnen. The upper part of the stone is white, hence its name.

An den Drei Eichen Trailhead & Shelter

Highlight • Rest Area

Relatively large trail parking lot, but still busy on weekends. At the Hammelstalstrasse there is another - smaller - parking lot at the edge of the residential area. If you choose this, you can take the Zeppelinturm on the tour and enjoy a nice view.

Schlagbaum Trail Junction

Highlight • Trail

Hiking cross in the Palatinate Forest

The quickest and easiest way is via the Weilach (Leistadt district).

From there, many hikes and bike tours are possible in all directions.

Towards Teufelstein, quickly, easily and slightly uphill.

Lower Gaistal, Herzogweiher always downhill, also plain and simple.

Upper Gaistal, Hardenburg via a beautiful, longer hiking trail, but also challenging for mountain bikers.

The Bismarck Tower can be reached via two paths. Hikers should use the forest highway, as the (single) trail is often used as a downhill slope... so mountain bikers must be expected.

Heidenfels and Lindemannsruhe are other hotspots on the mountain.

Tip: Hikers and mountain bikers should respect each other

Super nice gravel tour 😎 But only if it hasn't rained for 4 weeks 😂 Today I drove about 40 out of 60 km of super muddy forest paths in the rain 🤪
