June 22, 2026, St. George's Church Wachenheim

The marketplace with St. George's Church, St. Ludwig's Chapel, and a fountain forms the center of the old town of Wachenheim. The St. George town church does not have a uniform architectural style and has undergone many changes and destructions throughout the city's eventful history. Originally built as a single-nave church, it received a late Gothic choir in the 14th century. From 1508 to 1574, it served as the monastery church of the destroyed Limburg Abbey. After the Reformation, it was assigned to the Protestants, who removed the existing interior furnishings. Burned down in the Wars of Reunification in 1674 and 1689, the church remained a ruin until 1708. Then, the nave was allocated to the Protestants and the choir to the newly established Catholic parish. The tower became common property. In the years 1711/13, the church was rebuilt into its current form with a raised tower and a late Baroque dome. Since 1715, a wall has separated the areas of both denominations. The choir, used as a Catholic church, received an additional small choir on the east side in 1721. The high altar and three Baroque side altars are works by local artists from the 18th century. After the construction of the Edith Stein Church, the old building is now rarely used. The Protestant nave was rebuilt in 1860/61 and expanded, renovated, and equipped with wooden galleries in 1905/07. https://www.pfalz.de/de/sehenswuerdigkeit/simultankirche-st-georg

Technical Trail. For the First Ride I Stopped at some Key sections to check them. Once you know what comes it is good rideable, if you have experience in tech Trails (S2+). Lower Part gets more flowy and has some bigger Jumps but for the jumps there is always an alternative chicken way. If you Like Tech Trails with Rock Rollers, Stepper Parts, corners and rocks that Trail is for you.

Awesome, black trail. The entry is tough; the rock at the beginning is steep, but grippy, but not completely rideable. After that, there's a rock slab, very grippy and very easy to ride. It looks harder than it is. It cost me a lot of money, but I rode it. Then it continues on a really rocky path. A real challenge for me, but we looked at the options and rode down. It's also suitable for experienced and ambitious weekend riders. After that, the trail sections, some flowing, some steeper with features, stretch down the slope to the parking lot. Not easy, as it's steep, rooty, and rocky, but after the tough entry, it's easy to ride. A fantastic trail that you have to work hard to get on, but then it's a lot of fun.

The Waldgaststätte Pfalzblick is a charming forest restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, a fireplace, and a magnificent panoramic terrace. It is located directly on the Palatinate Wine Trail and offers unparalleled views over the vineyards all the way to the Rhine plain and the Odenwald forest.
