Roadbook

If you start at the Palatinate Stonemason Museum, you have the opportunity to visit this interesting house during its opening hours.

Follow the signs to the right and you will reach the village's historic town hall. The magnificent half-timbering and the colonnade area on the ground floor reflect the civic self-image of the 16th century.

If you continue following the markers, you will pass many townhouses. They are examples of 19th-century sandstone architecture. Particularly impressive is the Diehlsche Pharmacy. After the Gründerzeit train station, we cross the Alsenz and reach the German Sandstone Park. Geology enthusiasts will be rewarded here.

Passing further testimonies of stonemasonry art, you return to the starting point.
