August 25, 2024,Skywalk Bollenblick – Luitpoldturm – Ruine Gräfenstein Runde von Hinterweidenthal

Since today the temperatures were very pleasant after the 30°C on Saturday, we decided to start a hike that we had discovered a while ago.
Starting on the Kuhpfad from Hinterweidenthal - after we had corrected the first wrong turn - we were able to pick up a good pace towards the Skywalk Bollenblick as the tour was quite long. …

Arrival tour in the Palatinate Forest!!

Countless long paths and gravel trails led us through the Palatinate Forest to the Skywalk Bollenblick viewing platform and the Gräfenstein Castle ruins. …
