View of Trifels Castle and the shelter at Heidenschuh

Highlight • Viewpoint

A good alternative to the bank opposite in bad weather. When the weather is nice, I recommend the bench with a view.

July 19, 2026,Waldhambach | Martinsturm auf dem Treutelskopf – Burg Landeck Runde

This circular hike is one of the most beautiful tours in the Pfälzerwald for us. With around 12.5 kilometers and about 470 meters of altitude, it is quite demanding in terms of fitness. The sometimes steep ascents challenge us again and again, but the varied route and the many viewpoints more than make up for every meter of altitude.

Finally to Landeck Castle. Since there are a lot of interesting points here, I kept the tour relatively short. Since the weather was moderate and there was a lot to see, this was the right decision (in winter).
We started at the Pfalzklinikum, quite steep and slippery (wet leaves on stones and roots), to the "Schlössel" castle from the 11th …

This was once again a tour from the hiking box of our ancestors. And because there were no "modern" circular hiking trails back then, people probably walked in the way that was most convenient to connect the best waypoints. In other words: From today's perspective, this tour is a puzzle with parts of the Klingenmünster circular trails "Burgenweg" and "Quellenweg", …

Thank you @Christine/ Pfalzrakete 🚀🍀🍀🍀 for the Christmas tour.

It was a really lovely walk...sunshine, not too cold, forest, panoramic views, and then the highlight...the medieval Christmas market at Landeck Castle ruins.

There we enjoyed the sunset, food and drink, and especially the medieval atmosphere.

CONCLUSION:

A great start to the third Advent weekend.

After the invitation to have a coffee and a cozy get-together, the idea came up to do a little tour from the Landeck castle ruins.
We started at 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot by the castle. We hike down the pink logo of the Burgenweg on the Panoramaweg to the parking lot. Then it goes steeply up again,
