December 27, 2025,Lug | Katzenfels - Maus - Felsformation Geiersteine Runde

A truly impressive hike starting in Lug, offering breathtaking scenery. Right from the beginning, the Katzenfels (Cat's Rock) is a delight, followed by the curious Fels Maus (Mouse Rock), before reaching one of the absolute highlights: the Geiersteine (Vulture Stones) – a spectacular rock formation with a magnificent panoramic view over the Palatinate Forest. Fantastic vistas also open up at …

On narrow paths and forest trails you pass many sandstone formations.
From the "Geiersteinen", the "Runden Hut" or the "Hornstein" you have a wonderful view …

October 13, 2021,🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏽Die Geiersteine-Tour in Lug

Arrived in Lug when it rained and drove home from Lug when it rained. The Geiersteine Tour ran completely dry, what a dream 😍. I've wanted to run this small and nice lap for a long time. Our images today come from three sources, the iPhone11, the Canon 7d and Winston's drone. In comparison, I first noticed today how modern …
