December 3, 2022,Frankenstein -Diemerstein-Hungerbrunnen-Schinderkopf- Glastal

were out and about in the Palatinate Forest again today. We started under the Diemerstein castle ruins and then returned to the castle ruins via Hungerbrunnen-Schinderkopf-Glastal. It is/was a tour without major highlights, but the paths were easy to walk.

This tour was created through inspiration from the book "Forgotten Paths". In beautiful autumn weather a successful tour that has (almost) everything to offer what a hiker's heart desires. Only the opportunity to stop for a break was missing. The hiking backpack was well equipped for this 🥨🥐🧀🥓🍇
