Trifelsblick-Hütte (PWV Gleisweiler)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the most beautiful huts in the area. In any case, excellent view of the Trifels! If the crowd of people is not too large, it can be very cozy there. Good value for money.

March 10, 2024,Pfalz: 5 auf einen Streich - Pfälzer Hüttentour

Today's motto for the tour: "Huts and Forest". Today's tour took us past 5 huts. The huts are managed by the Palatinate Forest Association and were all open except for the Landauer Hut. The tour has a few meters in altitude but is easy to walk. There are always great views of the Palatinate Forest and the Rhine plain.

The weather last Sunday was perfect for hiking the Pfälzer Hüttentour, which is currently nominated as Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in Wandermagazin.

On the way, you pass five rustic Palatinate huts and several viewpoints with gigantic views.

We started in Skt. Johann (Albersweiler) and followed the yellow symbol that marks the trail of the tour.

Today it was worth taking a look at the cloud radar. The chances of good weather were better in the east than to the west of me. It worked perfectly. I had sun all day on this premium hiking trail. Only the visibility was slightly cloudy but still within limits.
The Palatinate Hut Tour is a very varied hiking trail …

April 11, 2026,Frankweiler: "Pfälzer Hüttentour" (Premiumwanderweg) - Ein Pfalz-Klassiker mit schönen Pfaden, atemberaubenden Ausblicken und mehrfacher Einkehrfreude

This beautiful, very varied hike was very enjoyable for me and @Elili!

First, a few minor things that weren't so nice:

> The short gravel approach to the Frankweiler hiking parking lot "offers" very large waves in coarse gravel, so that you (only with great skill) don't scrape the car!

And once again in the beautiful Palatinate. Here, with such great weather, everyone is out and about. The hut tour is very popular because the huts offer super tasty food at absolutely fair prices.
That was a lot of fun today.
Thanks @ Mama for the tip from the RNZ 👍.
