March 5, 2026,Leinsweiler Slevogtweg - Auf den Spuren von Max Slevogt

This short route has many magnificent viewing rocks overlooking the Rhine Valley, the mountains of the Palatinate Forest, and finally the Dreifaltigkeit, Trifels, Anebos, and Scharfenberg (Münz) ruins. Yesterday, no paragliders took off from Hohenberg. Today I had more luck on Förlenberg, two paragliders took off. I noticed that I had also seen one of the Duddeflieger yesterday. He likes …

April 14, 2024,Slevogtweg

We walked the Slevogtweg today. We walked this a few years ago and I can say that it is definitely worth walking. There is no PWW hut along the way, but there are enough benches where you can take a rest. The path starts in Leinsweiler and goes first to the Slevogthof and the family grave. From there, continue to …

October 17, 2021,🚶🏼‍♀️Auf den Spuren von Max Slevogt, im Nebel

Now it's officially autumn, that was my first hike in the fog. That's why I didn't enjoy the beautiful views on the “Slevogtweg”. But it doesn't matter, I think the air in the fog smells particularly good. The whole of Leinsweiler felt full of tourists, and it was always worthwhile to be out here early on the weekend.

- the Neukastel castle ruins 🏰 with a dream view of the Rhine plain 🤩
- the Wettereck (a very banal name 🙄 for this beautiful spot) with …

November 6, 2021,Pfalz: Leinsweiler, grandioser Slevogtweg "gestern & heute" über dem Nebel🤩

Despite the thick fog, we drive to the Slevogthof, which is unfortunately closed to walk the special Slevogtweg.
Along this hiking trail, 19 panels give an insight into Max Slevogt's life in Leinsweiler and a wonderful comparison of the works of art created there with today's reality.

October 5, 2024,Mit unserer Linedance - Gruppe auf den Spuren von Max Slevogt

Today was an absolutely beautiful day with the line dance hikers on the Slevogthof, Neukastell, Wettereck and the Slevogtfelsen, all with great views and lovely rest areas. Which is why we often lost track of time and had to step on the gas at the end; we had made a reservation at the Brauhof Göcklingen. We arrived there on time …

May 6, 2022,Kleine Föhrlenbergrunde

Today I met a friend from Leinsweiler for a little hike. Since the weather was great, I was able to cycle the route from Insheim to Leinsweiler (my personal 'warm up' 😅). Since we hadn't seen each other for a long time, we chatted more than we ran km. But still a nice little round: to the Wettereck, Slevogtfelsen, Neukastel …
