Trifelsblick-Hütte (PWV Gleisweiler)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the most beautiful huts in the area. In any case, excellent view of the Trifels! If the crowd of people is not too large, it can be very cozy there. Good value for money.

July 30, 2025,3 Berge rund um das "Pfälzische Nizza"

The tour began in Gleisweiler and led up a gently ascending path to the pilgrimage church of St. Anna, which always offers a magnificent view of the Rhine plain. 🏫The weather cross on the Teufelsberg mountain once again impressed me, although the view was unfortunately somewhat limited. I stopped for a break at the Trifelsblickhütte; the coveted sunny spot right …

October 3, 2025,Keschdeweg 3.2: Frankweiler - Burrweiler

The tour where I've found the most and largest Keschde so far. My local mountain. Teufelsberg with the Anna Chapel. @BH 3000 and I met at the Trifelsblickhütte. From here, there's a magnificent view of the Trifels. The seating area at the Wetterkreuz was being renovated. Great event. The Annahütte was also open, and we met a nice friend there …

Beautiful paths ran up to the St. Anna Chapel and the St. Anna Hut of the PWV.
We hiked further up to the Teufelsberg and looked at the Wetterkreuz.
The next destination was …

July 20, 2025,Burrweiler: St. Anna-Kapelle – Trifelsblick - Walddusche

A very beautiful trail with great highlights and two huts for refreshments. The Trifels view is breathtaking, and the hut on site is a great place to linger. The forest shower is truly special and, despite the high temperatures, was well used.

November 5, 2021,Pfalz: Wunderschöne Pfalz! Gleisweiler "nuff un nunner"

The fog is slowly clearing, we start in Gleisweiler, one of the most beautiful wine villages on the Weinstrasse.

On the drive through the narrow streets of the wine villages it often gets very tight with oncoming traffic, but the way is also the destination.

February 20, 2026,Wetterkreuz-Runde Gleisweiler

A self-guided loop on marked hiking trails, first to the Anna Chapel, then up to the weather cross on Teufelsberg (Devil's Mountain), and back via the Trifelsblickhütte (Trifels View Hut)... (to the bus).

A "wintery" tour up to 597m, high enough for a "white surprise" before the predicted rain and rising temperatures.
