January 18, 2025,Runde von Ludwigswinkel mit Freunden
We met so often in pubs. One from Saarland, one from the Palatinate and one from Baden (not officially, as they were first generation). Then our time at university was over. Now and then, but of course much less often, we met up to drink a beer and "babble nonsense".
One of them emigrated to the Palatinate 6 years ago …

January 1, 2025,Hohe List-Tour
First of all, happy new year 2025!

Today we wanted to bathe in the sunshine. Starting in Ludwigswinkel, we enjoyed the easy trot to the Hohe List hiking lodge and from there back to the town center. Most of the terrain consists of wide forest paths, a bit of asphalt and gravel, but thanks to the magnificent nature of the …

From the village square you go through the town towards the “Schöntalweiher” natural swimming lake, which is ideal for swimming. From here we go uphill, first on a forest road, then on …

Today we were able to start the hike from our hotel “Rösselsquelle”. First of all, a little through Ludwigswinkel (we really liked it!) and then out into nature. We saw huge carp in the Schöntalweiher, very impressive.
Yesterday there was one highlight after another, today they were far apart and sparse.
What I liked best about the route was the …

When I came across the gypsy rock on Google maps, we had to laugh with my wife, it looks very funny.
Then the destination for the next hike was found.
You have to look at this rock because I don't think the rock will be there for long. To make it worthwhile, we did a nice round.

Super great tour, short off-road route, because I didn't want to stick to the signs, the ascent was marked as very steep, but it was exhausting but manageable. The Hohe List is a great PWV hut with very good catering and large portions. Afterwards, cool beer at the lake. By the way, we started hiking at point B at the …

Very narrow and scrubby at the beginning, but it can be bypassed. After about 3 km along the road, a parallel path runs
