Haintor City Gate

Highlight • Monument

"Until the 19th century, Freinsheim had two entrances, the Eisentor in the north-east of the city and the Haintor in the south-west. The name Haintor probably comes from its orientation towards a small chestnut grove in front of the gates of Freinsheim. The gate system originally built also included a front gate with a kennel and two towers, which were demolished in the 19th century due to dilapidation.The tower is 15 m high and had one more storey before the Palatinate War of Succession.A drop gate, which is not today functional and only attached for decoration, was in earlier times an important component to protect the residents at night and from possible attacks The gates were already closed. The phrase is still known to us today from this event, but it is more in the sense of fear, not quite to get to know the desired partner in good time. If you leave the city through the Haintor in a westerly direction, you have a view of the Bismarck Tower and the almost 500 m high Peterskopf in the Palatinate Forest. Not far from there is the "Lindemannsruh", a tourist restaurant that was named after the former head forester Lindemann. We owe it to him that the chestnuts that the Romans brought to this region are still in such large numbers."

You start from Neuleiningen with a very gentle slope of an average of 2% to Lindemannsruhe. The first section leads through the valley along the Eckbach and, in my opinion, is relatively boring to drive, as this section to Altleiningen is very industrial. Only from Altleiningen does the road meander below the castle on a narrow road through the village, creating a feeling of seclusion and tranquility. In the center of the village behind the Protestant church, the path turns left with a short steep incline in the direction of Höningen. If you have done this you get a very good view of the valley of the Höniger Bach with its meadows and fields. After leaving the Höningen monastery, which is only a ruin, and the village, the narrow road climbs gently up to 488m above sea level. NN. Very nice, winding section with little traffic. Especially at dusk, when rays of sunshine fall through the mixed forest here and there, the Palatinate Forest with its red sandstone cliffs shows itself from its most beautiful side. If you have made it to Lindemannsruhe, you only go downhill to Leistadt, from where you have a beautiful view of the Rhine plain.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

"In 1927, the municipality of Freinsheim decided to build a forester's lodge at the entrance to its approximately 436 hectare forest. At that time, the Bismarksturm on the 480m high Peterskopf had already stood for a quarter of a century. The forester's lodge received its name from the former head forester Lindemann. "
