750 years of Birkenfeld Monastery! The nun statue at the entrance to the town was unveiled in September 2025 to mark the anniversary.

Here, the figurine in the shape of a nun is located, commemorating the tradition of that time and Barbara von Leonrod, who was the last nun in Birkenfeld. It was designed by the artist Jörg Fritsche.

A very nice bench at the beginning (or end, depending on where you're coming from) of the Pfalzbach Gorge. Ideal for resting and having a snack.

The Pfalzbach Gorge is a wonderful hike. A narrow path winds through the gorge, always alongside a small stream. It's beautifully shady in the summer.
