Waldgaststätte Pfalzblick – Forest inn with views over the Rhine Plain and vineyards

Highlight • Restaurant

Here you can eat delicious. Before you take care of your physical well-being, you can still enjoy the view in front of the restaurant. The view here is very nice. You can see quite far into the Rhine plain.

Eckkopf Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The corner head spring is well hidden, here it usually just trickles.
