Drachenfels Castle is definitely worth a climb. A great experience, and not just because of the beautiful view. Exploring the structure of this castle is a real adventure, as it differs significantly from the usual castles.

August 7, 2025,Dahner Felsenland Tour - überwiegend Teile der MtB-Tour 13

I wanted to go on a long tour again, and I'd been wanting to go to the Dahner Felsenland for a long time. Voila.
For my taste, part 13 of tour had too little single trail.
I'll plan shorter future tours and focus on highlights that I couldn't see up close today because I was already suffering from cramps starting …

July 26, 2023,Tour 13 / Dahn des Mountainbikeparks Pfälzer Wald 26.07 2023

DONE. All driven. 😊 Today was the last tour of the MTB park Palatinate Forest on the program.
With Oliver (@Palatinatrails ) I was able to win a "willing" 😉 comrade-in-arms for this tour.
It started, logically, in Dahn, following the original route.

Refreshments at the Drachenfelshütte and later at the Schmalstein Hütte.

This is probably because it is an official route. Once in Rumbach, you can charge up. There were also some very good uphill and …

We actually wanted to spend 4 days in the Rhön and ride the Trans Buchonia there. But the weather gods weren't kind to us and - like almost everywhere else in Germany - it was just terrible weather. 😪
So we changed our plans and went to a place where the ground was still perfectly passable even after 4 weeks …

Altitude ⛰️⛰️ detention in the Palatinate Forest 😉. After the week in Holland, a few more altitude meters 🚵‍♀️ were needed. In May it was too wet for the tour and now it's really summer. What can you do 🤷‍♀️.

How was the tour for me 🤔🤔🤔.

Hot 🔥 as hell 👹 and heavy as hell 🐷🐷.

The Tour 13 from the Palatinate Forest to 95% followed by Eli. Wölmersberg left out as in Tour 12, as well as the hairpin descent from the Great Eyberg. Kick turns are not my thing.😔😁
