"The iron gate used to be called "Wormser Tor". But if you are looking for parts made of heavy metal, you will look in vain. Because the name iron gate is solely due to the Palatinate dialect. The outer gate became the "iron gate" and from it today's Designation "iron gate". Two mighty towers take the archway between them. In relation to the rest of the city wall, the complex turned out to be a bit too bulky and it is a demonstration of Palatinate power at that time. The construction of the fortifications around what was then Freinsheim ended with the iron gate. The coat of arms of the Electoral Palatinate is attached above the driveway. Among other things, it bears the inscription of the year it was made, 1514. The number four, as was customary in earlier times, was represented as half eight. The "Bavarian diamond" in the coat of arms may surprise some guests, but it is a characteristic of the Wittelsbach family, to which the Electoral Palatinate also belonged."

Even at the saltworks below you can breathe better because of the salt water that flows through brushwood. You can tell immediately how clean the air is there.

In contrast to the (red) quarries in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, sandstone on the Haardt edge is white and yellow! Many of the inscriptions/pictures that can be found on the walls are explained on a beautiful information board and marked with red arrows on the walls of the quarry. Horse pictures are particularly easy to recognize. These rock paintings come from the Roman legionnaires who worked in the quarry here. Also carved into the stone: a large memorial plaque for the Bad Dürkheim soldiers who died in World War I and all their names.
