Keschdeweg Chestnut Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's worth coming here in autumn to collect the many, many chestnuts. Otherwise it is a beautiful hiking trail that is not difficult to walk. Also easy to do with a stroller etc.

You head off for the weekend without a real plan. You end up on the Palatinate Wine Route, spend the night at the winemaker's farm, take part in the barbecue evening and hike along a beautiful circular path to Hambach Castle. Simply beautiful...

On a whim, due to the good weather in the Palatinate, we set off on a short hike...found in the Komoot case at @🇺🇦Schlofwandler🕊️...which once again had just the right thing in store: a leisurely walk with a view, forest, and—of course—wine spritzer. 😂From the forest parking lot, we headed
downhill on forest paths toward Hambach Castle, which we skipped. …

June 13, 2023,Pfalz: Von Maikammer über Hohe Loog Haus zum Hambacher Schloß

Since we couldn't start until the afternoon when the temperatures were high, we actually only wanted to walk a short distance.
