Spangenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle Spangenberg was built according to the legend of the wild Kaspar. Its wild name addition came from the dedication party of the castle, which ended only when all were completely drunk on the ground. Kaspar then lit the hut, where the party rose, so that all died and the existence of the castle remained secret.

Not quite as wild ended the history of the castle: Until the 1970s, she was a dilapidated ruin, formed until the club Castle Spangenberg, the ruins renovated, partly rebuilt and since then operates a castle tavern. And now it is also exciting for exhausted mountain bikers. Because with a hearty snack, coffee and cake or a quaint knight's meal, you can strengthen yourself great and maybe there's a beer in it - it does not have to end so wild, as at Kaspar.

Breitenstein Forest House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

You can treat yourself to a break of the traditional kind in the Forsthaus Breitenstein. Beautifully far away from the hustle and bustle, traditional Pfälzer dishes are served here all year round - after that you have enough power for the next upheaval. There is also a guest room if you want to stay longer in the Palatinate Forest. Information: forsthausbreitenstein.de/index.htm

Kohlbach Riverside Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The hiking path from the Helmbachweiher to the Naturfreundehaus Lambrecht is beautiful and runs parallel to the babbling Kohlbach with the hiking trail "Pfälzer Hüttensteig". This hiking trail is largely located in a deeply cut and therefore shady (cool) valley: particularly pleasant in summer, but still with some damp spots; At other times of the year and after / in rainy weather, it is less recommendable because it is very muddy!
For cyclists there is a forestry path that runs on the other side of the Helmbach.
