Bride and Groom Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the landmarks of Dahn. It is arguably the easiest rock massif to reach as it towers right off the road and can even be photographed from the road. Climbers are often seen on the south side.

Hollow Rocks on Little Mückenkopf

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Broad, imposing rock overhangs. It looks as if they have to yield to their weight at any time. Nonetheless, they have been here for ages. Great photo opportunity!

Moosbach Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is where the small Moosbach rises, which then runs idyllically along the valley and feeds some ponds, such as the water lily pond. After about 5km, the Moosbach flows into the Wieslauter after the Neudahner Weiher.

Dahner PWV hut "Im Schneiderfeld"

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Good cuisine in a wonderful location. Children's playground available. Plenty of outside and inside seating.

Addendum 2020: Still unreservedly recommended even after the third visit. The cherry and cheesecake were delicious.

Today I absolutely had to get out. It was supposed to be a short, quick round. In short, I decided on the Hohle-Felsen-Tour in Dahn. Start at the Mossbachtal hiking parking lot. On the way through the valley, we were literally eaten alive by mosquitoes. I had never experienced that before, those critters are very annoying. Only when we passed …

After I went to the Hohle Felsen from Fischbach last week, today I did the Hohle Felsen tour from Dahn. I started at the PWV hut in Schneiderfeld. The tour is a bit unusual for the area, as you don't walk past rock formations the whole time. Instead, most of the route runs through stream valleys. At the beginning it …

I'm once again on the road in a remote part of the Palatinate Forest - from Dahn I'm drawn to the Hohle Felsen and the relics of the Cold War.

You can find the film about the hike here:

A beautiful hike in the Dahner Felsenland region, starting at the Moosbachtal parking lot. Passing the Dahner PWV Hut, the hike leads through the Seibertstal Valley to the former Wakaya Camp, then a long trail up to the Edersberg and further to the Hohle Felsen (Hollow Rocks). Then a steep zigzag path descends toward the Moosbach spring, but first, turn …

Due to the Saturday and the announced good weather, it should be a slightly less frequented tour. The first bit up to the rocks is on great paths and the rocks themselves are awesome. Unfortunately, from there it goes almost exclusively over partly overgrown roads without any real highlights.

That was another really nice tour at the end of my days off this week!
There were plenty of rocks, great paths and beautiful views right at the beginning of the tour. After that it was a nice path, first along the Seibertsbach and then a longer ascent up to the Mückenplatzl. After a short downhill stretch, the next ascent …
