Wolf Gorge Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautiful hut with good, hearty Palatinate food and very reasonable prices. There is a small playground for children and the stream is perfect for splashing around. The large swing is a hit.

Something went wrong with the recording, probably because I had no network in this area. 🥺 The height meters are not right either, according to my Sigma it was 1700 meters

Relatively few single trails, many fallen trees, extremely overgrown, poorly signposted. Severe devastation caused by harvesters...

Poorly signposted around Harzofen/Elmstein!

Unfortunately, there are lots of forest roads!
You don't have to drive like that again!
The road is closed at times due to forestry work!

Beautiful round from the MTB Park Pfälzerwald No. 5 with trails and beautiful forest paths. Unfortunately we were diverted twice due to forestry work and could not use the designated trails.
We stopped at the Wolfsschluchthütte. 👍
The way back went through the pretty Speyersbachtal with a view of the tracks of the Kuckucksbähnel.
