March 19, 2025,20250319 D RP Annweiler Ahlmühle 3 Burgen Slevogtfels

Yesterday we were out and about again – in the Palatinate, of course.
The journeys are getting longer, but the area around Annweiler is worth the trip.

We drove to the Ahlmühle parking lot to start our tour. Our first destination was the Scharfenberg ruins. Unfortunately, the tower is not accessible. Beautiful views and partially restored walls were there, and …

We took advantage of the rain-free window in the morning to go on a short tour to Trifels Castle. Unfortunately, Scharfenberg Castle is closed until the middle of the year. So we had finished the tour when it started to rain.

After my colleague's wedding celebration, we decided to go for a little hike since we were already in the Palatinate. Very close by is Trifels Castle, where Richard the Lionheart was once held prisoner. An impressive building in an impressive location. The whole area is beautiful and impressive.

If you drive to the shoe 👟 mile in Hauenstein, men and women also put shoes in their shopping baskets. Yield not as much as 4 years ago, when we found what we were looking for here. Lots of empty business here too. Then a short hike to the castle 🏰 Trifels, which unfortunately was closed today, but that wasn't …

Don't be fooled by the given time, it goes over hill and dale, sure-footedness, sufficient time and good physical condition required. Enjoy a 3-4 hour tour with a break and a view!

The tour almost became a horror trip!
I had forgotten my "Dubbeglas"! Unbelievable, shame on me... So I stood and walked the tour completely dismayed. But the nice landlady of the "Barbarossa" gave me a wine rack (there were no double glasses), so I was saved! Unfortunately, you have to do without the pictures with the orange glass.
On the …
