View of Hambach Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

You will miss the Hambach Castle at this place.
It is just one of the many possibilities in the vineyards from which you can see the castle well.

November 24, 2024,Paul November - Pfalzausfahrt und Hambacher Schloss Runde

You head off for the weekend without a real plan. You end up on the Palatinate Wine Route, spend the night at the winemaker's farm, take part in the barbecue evening and hike along a beautiful circular path to Hambach Castle. Simply beautiful...

Penultimate day of vacation, so a longer round in familiar terrain. We parked in the hiking car park at the end of Diedesfeld and then passed the Klausentalhütte and up the Klausental to the Hahnetritt car park below the Hohe Loog. Was quite exhausting in the heat.
We then stopped at the Hohe Loog and refilled the energy stores :-) …

November 1, 2021,Herbstwanderung mit Sonnenuntergang

My anniversary hike.
The 100th hike that I planned and did. This tour lived up to the honor.
Driven up to Hambach Castle by car. The € 2 parking fee is ok. Didn't want to go down the mountain in the dark.
My idea worked.
Sunset from Hambach Castle.
Before that, great paths in a beautiful autumn forest.
Delicious Palatinate …

On a whim, due to the good weather in the Palatinate, we set off on a short hike...found in the Komoot case at @🇺🇦Schlofwandler🕊️...which once again had just the right thing in store: a leisurely walk with a view, forest, and—of course—wine spritzer. 😂From the forest parking lot, we headed
downhill on forest paths toward Hambach Castle, which we skipped. …

November 1, 2024,Hambacher Schloss - Aussichtspunkt Runde von Sankt Martin

Short stopover on the way back from the Holiday Park Halloween Fright Nights 👻.

The castle is beautiful to look at from the outside, but the exhibition is not worth it in our opinion, €6.50 for an exhibition that has nothing to do with the castle and is more for reading than looking at.

June 13, 2023,Pfalz: Von Maikammer über Hohe Loog Haus zum Hambacher Schloß

Since we couldn't start until the afternoon when the temperatures were high, we actually only wanted to walk a short distance. But the beautiful shady forest paths in the Palatinate Forest tempted us to take a slightly longer tour. Disadvantage, as always, that almost all huts in the Palatinate Forest are only open on Wednesdays and weekends. Even the actually …
