Tips from the Community
A somewhat dilapidated rest bench, which however gets nice shade in the afternoon from two walnut trees. A small peach tree has been newly planted. Great view over the sea of vines to the Kleine Kalmit (left), across the Rhine plain to the Odenwald and to the hotel „Leinsweiler Hof“ (top right).

It's worth taking a look at the Lauter from the many bridges. The perspectives are always different.

Komoot seems to have thrown together a few highlights. It's best to withdraw your photos. Mine was originally titled "View of the Jungfernsprung."

Ms. Fath is, of course, right: That's the Jungfernsprung in Dahn! Lug, and thus also the Luger Geiersteine, are 29 km away from the Jungfernsprung by car, 13 km by bike, and 11.5 km on foot, and are also located in a different municipality.

In Dahn, it's impossible to see the Luger Geiersteine! It must be called Jungfernsprung.
