If you don't look over the vineyards at Taschberg, but in the opposite direction, you can see the Orensberg and in front of it the Albersweiler quarry.

December 29, 2025,Die Drei - Reben 🫒🍇 - Skulptur – Hohenbergturm 🗼- Runde von Birkweiler 🚶‍♂️🥾🧢❄️🍁🍂
Thanks to Lili S.'s tip, I changed my plans today 🔄 because I spotted another tower 🗼😉😉😉 I started at 🅿️ by the chestnut bush where the geological-ecological nature trail begins. But I marched in the other direction ➡️ 🚶‍♂️, first a leisurely 2.3 km through Birkweiler. Then came 360 meters of elevation gain ↗️ over about 4.5 km via …

Wow... great "warm up" for the day... massive elevation gain, in the first 2 - 2.5 km... about 300 m high... awesome tour... with great views 👀💪👍🤠

The first tour of our vacation in the Palatinate Forest and German Wine Route region took us through the vineyards near Birkweiler to the Schumacher Rock and up to the Hohenberg in the best weather. This round was fantastically beautiful and varied: first the vines with their great autumn colors and the view down to Birkweiler, then the path through …

A nice autumn round for five through the vineyards. That was great! 👍😀

"The Muscats are throwing the hut", that was the call for this hike. First we climbed the Hohenberg (550 m) via a zigzag path. The view from the rock slab was beautiful today and everything was so clear. From the tower, another great panoramic view, and it wasn't as stormy here as at the southwestern tip of the Hohenberg. Then …

The climb to Hohenberg (552 m) is strenuous as it is constantly uphill, but it is worth the effort!
On the rocky plateau is the Hohenbergturm, from which (when the weather is good) you can see into the Vosges, the Odenwald and the Black Forest. There is also a shelter up there and at the western end - on the …
