Weyher in the Palatinate

Highlight • Settlement

Very nice wine village with stunning views of the Rhine valley. The approach from Modenbachtal towards Weyher and then the exit to Rhodt under the Rietburg. Glorious. Short stop is mandatory.

Ludwig Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the tower was built in 1889, it is said to have had a complete all-round view. Nowadays the view of the Rhine plain is blocked by trees. But you can see well to the east and north-west.

Kohlplatz Picnic Area

Highlight • Rest Area

There are a sufficient number of tables and benches at this intersection. Unless there's a whole bowling club on the go, you'll be able to take a break here.

In 1795 there was a battlefield below the Schänzel Tower. Two large memorial stones commemorate this. On the further way there are several carved stones that refer to the battle.
