September 20, 2024,3.Etappe Felsenwanderweg Rodalben
The third and final stage of the rock hiking trail is complete and we are simply thrilled with this hiking trail. In total we walked 48km with access paths, but it was a lot of fun. We can only recommend the Hilschberghaus as a starting point, good service and they even offer a shuttle service to the starting points of …

It was a beautiful hike, mostly on narrow paths and mostly in the shade.
The trail is well signposted.
Surefootedness is recommended.

ATTENTION ❗️ROCKS 🪨🪨🪨
The prospect of good weather...then let's get out. We should go to the Palatinate 🙋‍♀️. I've already seen a few hikes from the "Rodalben" rock hike 🥾 on Komoot. Now I wanted to take a look at it personally 👀. A beautiful hiking trail with a large portion of paths and great rock formations. I see a …

The absolute highlight for me was the Kuhfelsen, which is also good for a short break

44km of hiking trails, 37km of which are natural and 3km of loose ground - that sounds fantastic to me! So started today at the PWV - Hilschberghaus in Rodalben for the first of 4 rounds, first with four people, then with Flora.
The weather isn't that fantastic at first - overcast and drizzly, fortunately a sleet shower surprises me …

The Rodalber rock hiking trail had been on my to-do list for a long time, but something always came up.
Since the days are very short in winter, we divided the tour into 2 parts.
Today (Saturday) the shorter "northern circuit" was on the agenda, as was a short sunset circuit to Gräfenstein Castle in the evening. I was a …
