I have never had a tour I put together myself with so many highlights. My husband forgave me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️PLEASE 😀
Great weather, many bombastic far-reaching views, benches, paths, climbing sections, steep climbs, switchbacks, vineyards.... I also praise myself here ☺️

October 24, 2021,🍂🍁 Hohenberg - Slevogtfels 🥰 - Burgruine Neukastel 🍁🍂

I couldn't wait two weeks and hope for more color in the vineyards and have already done the tour suggested by Angelika today 🙃.
I didn't want to take the risk that the weather won't play along on my days off and that I'll completely miss autumn 🍂🍁 with its bright colors.
I started this morning at 8.40 a.m.

October 5, 2021,Kastanienwälder, Hohenberg und Neukastel - Runde um Birkweiler

Today we did a little round around Birkweiler. The weather cooperated and so we could enjoy the chestnut forests, the Hohenberg, the Neukastel ruins and the paths through the vineyards.
Interesting: On the way we met a forester from Bavaria who was collecting chestnuts here as part of a project in order to plant them in the Upper Palatinate, as …

October 22, 2023,Hohenberg Runde-Slevogtfels von Birkweiler

A Sunday that was free at very short notice, good weather, so a quick tour from the "stock" was expanded a little and off we went. It would have been better to see if there was anything special there beforehand...then I would have taken a different tour: the Hohenberg Trail half marathon was announced there today. Luckily I was ahead …

Numbers everywhere: on the trees, on the signposts. Someone really made an effort to number them.
On the way, I remember Count Count. Who else knows him? In Sesame Street, he taught the children how to count.
Today, the numbers led us over hill and dale through the Palatinate Forest.
The fog wafted over the ruins and reinforced the mysterious …

November 6, 2022,🌞 Slevogtfels -Ruine Neukastel - Hohenfels ☁️

Sun was still announced for the morning and so I decided to get up very early again 🥱
I had planned the tour especially for autumn, even if I was maybe a bit late for the colourful.
When the sky was blue, a gray blanket of fog swept over the autobahn less than 15 km away. That looked kind of …

September 28, 2021,Aussichtsreiche Mädelstour ab Birkweiler 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🌞

Sandra and I set off on a wonderful girls tour today, a little sad.
Everyday professional life will soon be fully back and there will be no Sandra and Juliet on the road in a double pack for the foreseeable future 😕.
So we really wanted to use this wonderful autumn day together again 🌞.
The wonderful round from Birkweiler …
