Kamelkopf Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

This impressive rock on the Leininger Burgenweg actually looks a bit like a camel's head.

Cairns on the Rock in Pfälzerwald

Highlight • Structure

Actually, I don't think much of these "gimmicks" because, in my opinion, they simply take over.

Memorial Stone for Chief Forester Adam Bauer

Highlight • Monument

The inscription is unfortunately very faded and moss-covered, but still just legible:

"To the faithful, long-time guardian and steward of our forests, Chief Forester Adam Bauer (1878 - 1947), in …

Julius Schmitt Memorial Stone (Ritterstein No. 284)

Highlight • Monument

This is one of the over 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association. Its inscription ("Jul. Schmitt Frankenthal dedicated to the author of the Wonegau") is unfortunately misleading, because …

September 20, 2024,vom Forsthaus Lindemannsruhe zum Kloster Hönningen und zurück

Today we did another tour in the Palatinate in the great autumn weather. We started at the Lindemannsruh forester's house (near Bad Dürkheim). Today it was quiet, but there is always something going on there at the weekend. At the beginning we followed the "Ganerbenweg" to the turnoff to the Ungeheuersee. From there we continued to the "Kamelkopf" and to …

December 29, 2023,🇩🇪 DEU I RP I Kamelkopf auf dem Kupferberg I 231229

I did my end-of-year tour with @Björn in the beautiful Palatinate. For this we picked something with “sandstone above Kaiserslautern”.

At first the path led us quite flatly through predominantly pine forest. We followed the hiking signs for the “Leininger Castle Trail”. One or two trees were creaking quite loudly under the weight of the wind, so we kept an …

December 15, 2024,Bad Dürkheim | Forsthaus Lindemannsruhe – Ungeheuersee - Kamelkopf - Kupferberg Runde

Nice Sunday walk in Bad Dürkheim. We started at the Fosthaus Lindemannsruhe and hiked to the Ungeheuersee. The Weisenheimer Hütte is still open there and they serve delicacies from the Palatinate. We then continued to the Kamelkopf on the Kupferberg. It was quite windy here. But the rock formation is definitely worth seeing. On the way we also saw wild …

April 5, 2025,Los geht's: 🥾🍷☀️ Höningen, Ungeheuersee, Kamelkopf, Klosterschänke ☺️

We had planned to hike the Karlstal Gorge from Trippstadt. Unfortunately, it was closed, so we had to change our plans.

So we started at the Klosterschänke in Höningen and walked to Ungeheuersee.

The second part had slightly more scenic paths, and we enjoyed every step of the way.

A cool tour with a relaxing finish.

February 12, 2024,Von Höningen zum Kamelfelsen auf dem Kupferbergfels

Today we started on the Leininger Castle Trail, which then turned into the Pfälzer Weinsteig. Before the Lindemannsruh the Ganerbenweg was added. Today's highlight was the forest, which is totally diverse.

September 7, 2025,Lindemannsruhe über Rahnfels und Heidennfels vom Langenthal aus

Today, the trick was time management. We wanted to meet our youngest for lunch at a hut he could drive to, since he was basically just passing through. The Linde was perfect for that, and we were on time. Normally, we would have added Schlosseck and Kamelkopf to this loop, but we didn't have enough time, hence the odd detour …

January 1, 2022,Neujahrswanderung-Kloster Höningen – Runde von Hardenburg

To welcome the new year we started this morning relatively early with the sky still overcast. When it got really sunny and warmer a little later, we had the feeling the New Year greets us back friendly 🤣 Good start to the year 2022 🎊🥳🥳🥳
