Wolfsfelsen Rock

Steep rock face just before the Petit Arnsbourg. Certainly a top location for climbers, but currently closed (mid-April) because of the breeding season of the kestrels!

Klingelfels

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice little rock, located right next to the parking lot so easy to get to. From the Klingenfels, it is still a relatively short distance to the Wasigenstein castle ruins.

October 13, 2024,Niedersteinbach - Petit-Arnsberg – Wasigenstein - Zigeunerfelsen

First we hike through Niedersteinbach, on asphalt, but still beautiful. The village is idyllic, has beautiful half-timbered houses and it is fun to walk through. Then there is a pretty muddy path, no problem with the right shoes.
Past the Wachtfelsen we continue uphill to the Petit Arnsburg. Very beautiful. On beautiful paths we continue to the Wasigenstein and then …

Unfortunately, we had to skip Petit Arnsbourg and the Wachtfelsen due to time constraints.
