Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Super nice forest road that meanders without many vertical meters along a ridge. On the way you can stop at the Schindhübelturm, which offers a 360 ° view over the Palatinate Forest.

Kirschbaum Hut on the Hochstraße

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There used to be a cherry tree in the forest gardens. After it died, the Hainfeld community planted a young cherry tree. After a while this tree also died. This used to be a resting and feeding place for forest carters and their animals. There is a forest hut on the site. There is also a memorial stone to commemorate the construction of the Hochstraße in 1831, which was installed by the Hochstraße cooperative in 1931.

Breitenstein Forest House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

You can treat yourself to a break of the traditional kind in the Forsthaus Breitenstein. Beautifully far away from the hustle and bustle, traditional Pfälzer dishes are served here all year round - after that you have enough power for the next upheaval. There is also a guest room if you want to stay longer in the Palatinate Forest. Information: forsthausbreitenstein.de/index.htm

Ritterstein Treffnix

Highlight • Monument

This is one of over 300 knight's stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. He points out the following:
“From 1859 to 1865, the then district forester Hahnus von Iggelbach ran a shooting range for fun at this Ritterstein location. Greencoats and the then Chief Forest Officer K. A. von Ritter [= the spiritual father of the Rittersteine] are said to have often met here for target practice. This place was popularly called Treffnix.”
Source (quoted verbatim): kuladig.de Objektansicht/KLD-327266

Treffnix-Platz (375 m high) is a forest square at a large crossroads. In the middle there is a large green island with a knight's stone. Since 2010, there has been a wooden cross behind the Ritterstein, which was erected by Elmstein taxidermists with the support of the forest. Source: pwv-elmstein.de.tl/Treffnix.htm

There are several seating groups and individual benches at the edges of Treffnix Square.
