It may be a small spring, but it's idyllically situated.

April 14, 2024,1. kleine Tour zur Bärenhöhle ( Südwestpfalz)

I then drove to Rodalben in the southwest Palatinate 😉. I got a first impression by walking to the nearby Bärenhöhle, which was amazing. The water in the cave comes from a spring and is drinkable. A great place 😀. The Bruderfels is also very impressive with its bright colors, it is the landmark of Rodalben. If it doesn't rain …

The Bear Cave near Rodalben was chosen for our evening walk. With the temperatures, the one with the fur coat should go to the shady side in the forest. The bears already had running water in their den. Yes even a shower! Much to the delight of our Joshi. I also liked the large caves with the small waterfalls. 😀

Today we were definitely more lucky with the view than yesterday. In the sunshine, as on this wonderful New Year's Day, we were allowed to walk a little bit on the rocky hiking trail in Rodalben. Dear Katja and Daniel, thank you very much for the delicious meal yesterday, the nice evening with you and the nice short hikes 🤗.
