Small Bärenbrunnertal round, Schindhardt (Palatinate)

This tour leads on narrow, little-used paths to some of the most beautiful rocks in the Bärenbrunner Valley. The tour is a bit "adventurous" because the paths can be hard to see depending on vegetation. However, you won't be walking in large groups, even when other routes in the valley are overcrowded. From the Bärenbrunner Hut, you first go steeply uphill along the Schanderie rock. The next highlights are the rock plateaus of Nonnenfels and Pfaffenfels, which offer a great view of the Bärenbrunner Valley and invite you to rest. After descending from Eichelberg, the route goes to Sandberg, to the foot of the Pfaffenfels and then to the particularly impressive Klosterfelsen. This last rock looks somewhat like the Matterhorn from a certain perspective. It is considered the climbing highlight of the Bärenbrunner Valley and has many renowned climbing routes where top climbers have tested themselves. Orientation: not signposted, partly very narrow paths, partially overgrown; those unfamiliar with the area need a GPS (!) or at least a map. Path types: 80% very narrow, little-used paths that can be overgrown depending on the vegetation period. The rest are forest roads. Catering: Bärenbrunnerhof guesthouse: http://baerenbrunnerhof.de
