The eleven friends can be found at the Löwenburg roundabout. You inevitably pass there on the way to the stadium. Right at the train station after the railway bridge. Three spectators sit on top of the railway bridge and cheer the team.

Gelterswoog

Highlight • Lake

Surrounded by the beautiful Palatinate Forest, the Gelterswoog is a pearl of a lake in the middle of nature. Here you can ride a great bike and swim in summer. On the northern shore of the lake, there is a beach that invites you to take a long break, whether to relax in the soft grass or to dive in the fresh lake water.

The bathing area is open in the summer from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 to 20 o'clock and on Mondays from 12 to 20 o'clock. Admission costs 3.50 euros for adults and 1.80 euros for children.

St. Rochus Church Hohenecken

Highlight • Religious Site

After the Rochuskapelle, which was built in 1748, offered too little space, today's parish church of St. Rochus was built in neo-gothic style in 1896/97 according to the plans of the architect Ludwig Becker from Cologne.
The chapel and the church together with the castle form the optical center of Hohenecken, a popular motif for painters and photographers.
