Dernbach in the Trifelsland. The village of Dernbach lies idyllically between orchards and forests in a gentle valley. In addition to unspoiled nature, the view is framed by the ruins of Neuscharfeneck and Ramburg, which surround the Dernbach Valley. Beautiful overnight deals invite you to vacation in Dernbach.

In Dernbach, you are exactly right if you want to recover from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the stress at work and relax in a pleasant atmosphere. Let your soul unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature and the Palatinate Forest. Numerous well-marked hiking trails around Dernbach and to the castles of the valley create an ideal infrastructure for hikers and mountain bikers.

Palatinate forest huts around the Dernbach Valley invite you to take a break and tempt you with Palatinate specialties and good Palatinate wine. For friends of boules, three courts are available. Also, visit the early Gothic Catholic Church, including frescoes from the 14th century and the wooden pulpit from the 16th century in the Protestant church.

Hiking on the Palatinate Keschdeweg is particularly attractive during the chestnut blossom or in autumn when the chestnuts ripen. The Palatinate Wine Trail connects Dernbach with Annweiler am Trifels and with the Southern Wine Route. The approx. 11 km long Market Path leads along historical paths all the way to Landau. For the modern hiker, it is a pleasure; for the heavily laden farmers on their way to the weekly market in Landau, it surely was not.

On the 3rd Sunday in July, the village hosts the "Keerschehooge" Kerwe, as Dernbach was famous for its cherries in the past. Since only standard trees were cultivated, the cherry harvest was done using ladders, and to also pick the most beautiful and largest cherries that were at the outermost tips of the branches, they used the so-called "Keerschehooge" (cherry hook) to pull the branches to the ladder and then picked them.

By the way: In Dernbach, the Kerwe was celebrated on St. Martin's Day until 1902. In 1903, the municipal council decided to move this Kerwe to the 3rd Sunday in July, partly because there was a mark and pfennig left from the cherry harvest to pursue the Kerwe festivities.
