Adlerbogen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view towards the east over the Zellertal and Worms, all the way to the Odenwald. The Adlerbogen provides a beautiful frame for the whole thing. Information boards explain the history of the arch, which sits enthroned on the volcanic rock of the Donnersberg.

Celtic Sculpture Trail – Double-pointed Bar Star

Highlight • Monument

Without the information board, the "work of art" could hardly be discovered.

Hirtenfels Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a shelter at the Hirtenfels. From there you have a great view of the surroundings and the Palatinate Forest. Right next to it is the Kosakenfels.

Beautifully accessible tower on the hill of Donnersberg. At the Ludwig tower there is a kiosk and a few benches with tables, which invite you to rest. By the way, the Keltenhütte is also very nearby.

Königsstuhl (Donnersberg summit)

Highlight • Summit

Fantastic view and a great feeling to be at the highest point of the Donnersberg. You should definitely plan it for a visit to the Donnersberg. At 686 meters, it is the highest elevation in the Palatinate. There are many great hiking trails all around with various difficulty levels and great views. Worth a trip at any time of the year.

View of Marienthal and Ruppertsecken

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very nice view over the gently rolling hills a little way south of the village Marienthal at the edge of the forest.
Two large benches and a table in the direction invite you to linger and rest.

April 6, 2025,Donnersberg ab Dannenfels 🌞

With 👌 clear views, we hiked up and around the Donnersberg. The route mostly follows the Palatinate High Trail.
On the way home, we rewarded ourselves with our first ice cream of the year in Worms 😜

August 24, 2024,Dannenfels: Burgruine Falkenstein - Donnersberg - Adlerbogen

A wonderful tour that mostly ran along the Palatinate High Trail. I took a lot of time and really enjoyed the rest at Falkenstein Castle and in the PWV hut. A highlight was the stop at the Kronenbuch hut, whose operators entertained the guests with Irish folk music. It was also important for me to verify the height of the …

August 10, 2025,Tour zum Aussichtspunkt Adlerbogen auf dem Donnersberg - Runde von Dannenfels

The last time I was on Donnersberg, I didn't know about the Eagle's Arch, so I skipped it. I made up for it today, and it was really worth it. 😁

June 17, 2022,Pfälzer Höhenweg Etappe 07 Bastenhaus - Dannenfels

It continues in the summer heat up to the Donnersberg. Thanks to the overnight stay in the Bastenhaus, you can start early so that you can still enjoy the fresh morning air in the first few hours. The Falkenheimer Hof offers an opportunity for a stop. On the one hand, the terrace offers a wonderful view and, on the other …

July 5, 2026,Pfälzer Höhenweg 2 - Bastenhaus-Dannenfels

So, this stage is the "highlight" of the Pfälzer Höhenweg, at least the highest point of the Palatinate is crossed with 687m with the summit "Königsstuhl" on the Donnersberg.
We have again reversed the direction of travel in order to reach the Donnersberg at the end of the tour and to be able to use the Keltenhütte located near the …

July 10, 2022,Dannenfels Runde 😎

Again a very nice round on the Pfälzer Höhenweg over the Ludwigsturm, SWR radio antenna and the Falkenburg. The tour was always very varied due to smaller climbs 😁 Unfortunately, Komoot has doubled the altitude again, actually it was about 600m
