Themed trail through the Palatinate, Rhineland-Palatinate
This circular trail definitely scores points with its numerous marvellous views of the Beutelfels, the Löwenbergs Ruhe and Hohenfels Castle, which can be visited as an option.

From the start at the car park at the campsite in Langental, the route climbs up to the castle and then descends at a relaxed pace. The entire route leads through the forest.
