June 8, 2023,Pfalz-Höhenweg v. Meisenheim nach Lauterecken

The stage of the Pfalz-Höhenweg was on the plan today.

Very nice.
It is remarkable that on the first third between Meisenheim and Lauterecken there were exactly 2 very old benches and then nothing.
Fortunately, the terrain of the model airfield was accessible and a break …

We have moved our "residence" to Lauterecken for a continuation of the Höhenweg and I think the corresponding, currently still incomplete, Collection already provides an overview.

Since we are using public transport, the 4th stage will be followed by today's 6th stage, and our final tour will probably close the gap.

The first look out of the window this morning and I saw "nothing". Thick fog lay over the valley. 🌫 The second look at the weather app - at noon "could" come a thunderstorm ⛈️, so get out there and go. 😊

Today we went from Meisenheim back to Lauterecken on the Palatinate High Trail with light luggage. 🥾

After the ten-day corona isolation, I was able to tackle the third stage of the PHW in good time on Good Friday 2022. In fine weather, the car was parked at the end of the stage, the Meisenheimer Bismarckplatz. The intercity bus took us on a 20-minute journey to the starting point, the Lauterecken train station. Incidentally, the bus also …
