Devil's Stone (Bad Dürkheim)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The mountain owes its name to the monolith on its summit - evidently an ancient place of worship.

"A silent witness still rests on the same spot and alone,

where it fell from the Lord of Hell,

on a high mountain - the Devil's Stone."

Last verse of the poem from "The Picturesque and Romantic Palatinate" by Franz Weiss.

Kriemhildenstuhl Roman Quarry

Highlight • Historical Site

Former Roman quarry from around 200 AD
Many display boards provide information on site about this cultural and historical highlight.

Due to the proximity to the city and the good view, you will meet many day-trippers here on weekends. There is another (and more beautiful) view from the refuge above.

In the great sunshine yesterday we started at the Weilach forester's lodge and hiked towards Kriemhildenstuhl. Once there, I was very impressed by the Roman quarry, which is considered one of the largest north of the Alps.
The view from there is simply magnificent.

At 12 o'clock, in the beautiful weather, I asked myself the question 'The thousandth round in the Hardtwald or ...'.

I had seen the short but very interesting-sounding round by @Julia on Tour a few days ago. I quickly saved the round and set off with my Cin. I noticed that @Nicolet was part of the round a few days …

Tour stolen from @Julia on Tour 😊 Thank you 🙏😊
It was a very nice, varied tour. Only at the end, at the quarry, did we have to leave the planned route due to construction work and only came across the original route again at the Schützenhaus.

Today three girls were out and about in the beautiful Dürkheim forest. We started from the hiking car park in Weilach steeply up the mountain to the Gayersbrunnen. It was only in the follow-up to the tour that I noticed that I had already been to the pretty fountain, but in the deep snow last winter, I actually didn't recognize …

3️⃣. and last round for this week.
This time a little further away. I was drawn to the Palatinate again, because in hot weather the pines of the Palatinate Forest give off a very pleasant scent for me 🤩
I simply chose a forest parking lot 🅿️ near Bad Dürkheim in Komoot and then set off towards Peterskopf without a …

Bismarck Tower, Teufelstein, Kaiser Wilhelm Höhe, Kriemhildenstuhl. And all this in just under 11km. Tempting.
The Bismarck Tower was the deciding factor.
The tour starts at the Weilach forester's house, halfway up.
When I got out, I noticed what I had forgotten: my water bottle!
The ascent was not so nice, but there are certainly better ways.
On the descent, …

At first I was in the wrong parking lot :-( But then it worked out and I found Natalie and Es Kallinche! Then the Friday Highlight Tour, which Natalie had put together for us, started. The sun gave everything on the Heidenfels "It was so great there! We couldn't get enough of each other and lots of photos were taken. …
