A small but truly beautiful tour 😍 3 castles in varying states of preservation, spectacular cliffs, a high proportion of trails, and fantastic views. All this in perfect hiking weather ☀️😎 I'd say that says it all 😅

On day 2 of our vacation in the Palatinate, we wanted to take a close look at the castles that we had seen yesterday from the Schuhmacherfelsen and Hohenberg. The Annweiler Castle Trail was a good option. This tour was also varied and highly recommended: First we hiked quite a bit, moderately uphill, through the forest, with the reddish red …

Good shoes that don't let moisture through. Sometimes pretty muddy after rain. Tour can be combined with a visit to Trifels Castle. Constantly uphill at the beginning.
The castles/ruins can be very busy at the weekend... it's not quiet with a hiking group from Saxony breathing down your neck, so you just pick up the pace, right @🌲🐾 Mandy 🌿⛰️ …

After another rainy morning, we drove to Annweiler shortly before noon and had a delicious meal in the Winzerstube to wait for the announced improvement in the weather.
The still existing drizzle stopped and we could start our hike.
It was only extremely windy and the wind was quite fresh in places in a T-shirt with a vest.
