August 1, 2026,Lug | Friedrichsfelsen - Felsenformation Klingel-Kopf – Großer Ferkelstein Runde

Today, the Spirkelbacher Höllenberg-Tour around Lug was on the agenda – a short but crisp hike with many impressive rock formations and great views. The first ascent was challenging, but the overcome altitude meters were quickly rewarded. Once at the top, the path led relaxed at almost the same height over the scenic ridge, making the tour a real pleasure. …

The third premium hike within a few weeks in the Hauenstein holiday region in the Palatinate Wasgau. And the fourth followed immediately afterwards this afternoon (see separate tour publication at komoot.de/tour/958006103 - Geiersteine-Tour). And both again real hits 👍😂.

Starting from the hiking car park at the upper edge of the forest in Lug, after a few meters you come …

In principle a nice tour, unfortunately the first half is very busy without many highlights. A number of viewpoints have also grown over by now, but in the second half the path ignites a highlight fireworks display with all the rocks and views.

You can definitely walk!

October 19, 2023,🥾 Pfalz: Spirkelbacher Höllenberg-Tour 👹

Since we enjoyed yesterday's mountain ridge hike so much, we went on a ridge hike again today and hiked the Spirkelbacher Höllenberg tour. The tour wasn't as bad as the name might suggest, at least we didn't go through hell while hiking this premium hiking trail. Quite the opposite: the tour was varied and beautiful.
From the hiking car park …

Today we had to wait until 2pm to start this tour but it was really worth it!
Beautiful mountain paths, a long path over the ridge of the Höllenberg.
Finally it wasn't windy and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful hikes of this year's holiday in the Palatinate.

Today we were on the road again in the Palatinate, only with a completely new cast...Natalie and her son and Kalle and I.
It was a wonderful hike that meanders through the forest in a varied way, with great rock formations.
Unfortunately we weren't so lucky with the sun, but the fog and hoarfrost looked all the more beautiful and …

The Spirkelbacher Höllenberg Tour is a premium hiking trail in the Hauenstein region and is one of the top hiking trails in the Palatinate. We started at the cemetery in Spirkelbach. The first 1.5 km dragged a bit, but then we were rewarded with super beautiful rooted hiking trails. I found the highlights on the route amazing and the vantage …
