A great trail. The rock arch makes you feel a little like on trails in Moab.

Forest Inn "Forsthaus Beckenhof"

Highlight • Restaurant

Large restaurant with a large outdoor and indoor area and also a large parking lot.
He is also responsible for the fact that there is always a lot going on there.
Despite the crowds, the 3 self-service stands were never overly busy.
If you don't like it there, you can walk 400 meters to the PWV hut Starkenbrunnen.

Beautiful narrow trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Only a section of the path is still a path, and it's still beautiful… unfortunately, the loggers have plowed through there with their machines! The remaining section, however, is still pleasant to walk on, at least for now.

August 17, 2025,Schillerwand – Felsentor am Felsenwald-Premiumweg Runde von Rodalben

Looking for a spontaneous Sunday hike that wouldn't take too long?
Found it here on Komoot.
Wonderful tour. Partly on the "Felsenwald" premium trail (wanderinstitut.de/premiumwege/rheinland-pfalz/felsenwald/).
Very varied and highly recommended.
Recommendation: Instead of parking at the forest cemetery, it's better to use the "Wanderparkplatz Biosphärenreservat Pfälzerwald-Vosges du Nord" (Palatinate Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve) hiking car park. This saves you having …

About a week ago, my follower @Sandale messaged me and said he'd be in Pirmasens this weekend. This sparked the idea of doing this hike together.
In cool temperatures but under a bright blue sky, we hiked through the most beautiful part of Pirmasens' Felsenwald forest to the Beckenhof stop. We returned via the prayer book.
A lovely hike for …

A great start to our short hiking holiday in the Palatinate with friends.
A beautiful hike on mostly narrow paths. We passed many impressive rock formations. I could hardly get enough of the enormous red sandstone formations.
The loop was an abbreviated tour of the Felsenwald Premium Hiking Trail, which absolutely deserves its premium designation.

I was really looking forward to this rock tour with my hiking friends today.
On narrow paths we went through the snowy forest. The first red sandstone rock was the Felsentor, which is worth seeing, descent into the idyllic Glastal and further along the Glasbach. At the end of the valley up to the Schiller and Luidpold rocks. When it …
