The largest mountain in the Palatinate, the Donnersberg with a height of 687 m, watches over the valley with its local communities, some of which nestle along the Pfrimm river, but also on the slopes.

I parked the car on the market square in Marnheim. I started the round to the left. Past the tower without a church and the church without a tower, we passed the old bridge arches of the former railway line. Initially, the paved path goes directly along the country road, which is not so nice, but at the height of …
