"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.

Great destination between Leistadt and Höningen. Small indoor area, large outdoor area with a small schnapps hut .... which invites you to hut evenings in winter, the campfire and the offered grill specialties round off the whole thing. There is a large parking lot on site, usually overcrowded on a good day, so there is usually wild parking. Many well-marked hiking trails around, the Bismarck Tower and TV Tower are the closest. The Monster Lake for people with more fitness.

Gigantic view. And I don't find the many wind turbines disturbing either. At least nicer than KKW's.

It was incredibly beautiful and even more beautiful that hardly anyone was there today. The absolute highlight of Dannenfels.

The Eagle Arch is a steel triumphal arch on the Moltkefelsen, 545 meters above sea level, on the east flank of the Donnersberg. On a forest path southwest of Dannenfels, a 12.50 meter long steel arch was stretched about 30 meters above the valley floor between two rocky peaks of the Moltkefelsen. The eagle arch is an important testimony to the art-historical development of the monument in the German Empire and the early tourist development of the Donnersberg. The arch is a "product of technology, an iron construction originally intended for bridge building, alienated to a "monument"... "in the dimension of the aesthetic" (Schindlmayr 1982, p. 159). "The harmonious interplay of technology, art and scenic beauty is what makes it so special." (Schindlmayr 1982, p. 159). Source: https://www.kuladig.de/Object-View/KLD-275648
