Schwodstal Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

Visit the Schweinstal in summer when everything is blooming and green. Very beautiful valley in which the operator of the quarry also holds events. The valley is always worth a visit

Stone Sphere with Carved Hand (Sculpture Trail, Palatinate Forest)

Highlight • Monument

This fantastic sphere is located at the height of the natural stone works Picard.
For me it is the most impressive large-scale sculpture on the Sculpture Path.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the artist on the internet.

Unfortunately, the swing was destroyed last year and has not been replaced until now (February 22)... ☹️
