Theme trail through the Palatinate, Rhineland-Palatinate
This circular route definitely scores with its numerous wonderful views of the Beutelfels, the Löwenbergs-Strasse and Hohenfels Castle, which can be visited as an option. The themed trail owes its name to two mighty ore veins that provided plenty of iron over the course of many years. You embark on a mining history hike and encounter more than 2000 years of mining history in the forests around Imsbach.
Right from the start at the parking lot at the campground in Langental, it goes uphill to the castle, then it's relaxed downhill. The entire route leads through the forest.
Highlights:
- Hohenfels Castle
- Lowenberg's rest
- Pouch Rock
- Hohlfelshalde natural forest reserve
