Nice destination in Annweiler. Those who do not want to dare to climb can also drive to the parking lot and walk from there (20 minutes) up to the castle. We widened the door a bit and walked to the window rock and Bindesbacher tower. Imposing rock formations

August 10, 2021,Hallo Trifels - wir sind wieder da

We're back ... after two too long years, finally sniffing the Palatinate forest air again
and admire the Trifels at Annweiler ..

To get in the mood for a few kilometers to come on the "Pälzer Keschdeweg"
first up on the Trifels for "acclimatization".
