The famous Felsengühen (rock glow) at the Altschlossfelsen (Old Castle Rocks) can be admired here in April, about an hour before sunset. Provided the sun is shining from a cloudless sky.

July 16, 2023,Um die Eppenbrunner Altschlossfelsen herum

The tour around the Altschlossfelsen leads along the brook without borders and partly on the Palatinate Way of St. James, which is peppered with some wisdom recorded on wooden boards. Before going up to the rock massif, it is easy to jump over the German-French border to the image of Diana (Roman goddess of the hunt), which can be reached …

After approx. 3.5 kilometers leave the Altschlosspfad for a short time in order to visit the picture of Diana (a relief from Roman times) on the French side. Unfortunately, hardly recognizable anymore, so that it was very difficult to find it at all.
Then we went to the highlight of the tour: Altschlossfelsen. These are a 1.5 km long group …

May 3, 2026,Altschlossfelsen – Felsenglühen Runde von Eppenbrunn

Since the weather was about to turn, we decided on the Altschlossfelsen today. A good decision, with so many highlights on the route. It's quite amazing what nature has to offer.
A good decision also because our camper then let us down. Clutch defective, the car was transported to Landau. We first need to clarify tomorrow what exactly is wrong …

The sun 🌞 let us down today 🤷‍♀️
But it was still a great hike, the main thing is that it stays dry from above.
Hiked the well-known premium trail Altschlosspfad with a small deviation - Helmut KohlWeg.
What impressive rock formations and a partly pleasant 😍sandy forest path.
There was a lot to see, including
mystical forest atmosphere with …
