Ruins of Hohenecken Castle

Highlight • Castle

Exciting castle ruins and great vantage point on the area. Parts of the castle date back to the 12th century. Especially the 25 meter wide shield wall and the pentagonal keep are especially. During the Palatinate War of Succession Burg Hohenecken was blown up and has since been a ruin.

Valleys and Siltation Zone at Gelterswoog

Highlight • Natural

Parking at Gelterswoog, past the campsite into the valley behind Gelterswoog. At the campsite you can take a break on the way back (maybe from the Landstuhler castle). Very nice place to feed and relax.

Gelterswoog

Highlight • Lake

Surrounded by the beautiful Palatinate Forest, the Gelterswoog is a pearl of a lake in the middle of nature. Here you can ride a great bike and swim in summer. On the northern shore of the lake, there is a beach that invites you to take a long break, whether to relax in the soft grass or to dive in the fresh lake water.

The bathing area is open in the summer from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 to 20 o'clock and on Mondays from 12 to 20 o'clock. Admission costs 3.50 euros for adults and 1.80 euros for children.

July 2, 2021,Burg Hohenecken 🚲🚲🚲🌲🌳🌞🌷🌻

Today there was a report about the kestrel cubs at Hohenecken Castle in the Rhine Palatinate. During the MTB tour I suggested Andreas go there.
Of course he knew the most beautiful trails to and from the ruins. That was great.

"The fact that the Stauferburg Hohenecken has become a real attraction over the city and beyond is no …

Today is our MTB tour from Bremerhof to the pretty Hohenecken Castle, which I am leading in place of Andreas and with a few changes. We pass the idyllic Jagdhausweiher again, which is well-filled this year. After the tour, the beer in the Bremerhof garden tastes even better. 😀

Bike coding was scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., so I had to hurry to get to Andreas's mountain bike ride at 4:30 p.m.
With 11 people (3 regulars, 8 MTB pedelecs), we set off for the Wasserhaus (Water House) and then, after crossing the road, started the climb to Dansenberg. After a short trail crossing, we immediately descended …

The tour starts in Hohenecken either in Schloßsgasse or in the large parking lot at the primary school. I had to change the tour a bit because of forest work so that I couldn't get out at the barbecue area. Estimated 5 km the long way and the short 3.5 km

After yesterday's flat tire and not being able to get the tire on the rim (never happened to me before 😂), today I just went for it and rode out the frustration from the day before. There are beautiful single trails near Dansenberg and they are really fun 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 A short, crisp loop with a fun factor to follow. And …

A little digestive walk with my wife. After the good meal😋, that was a must. A leisurely walk from Hohenecken towards Dansenberg. Past the Jammerhalde, the bike path from the university to the Jagdhaus-Weiher. From the Jagdhaus-Weiher to Breitenau. Then to the Hohenecker Grillhütte at the end of the tour in Schloßstraße. In the heat, we had a cool grapefruit …
