Forest hike to two top photo spots, the Stäffelsberg Tower and the Guttenberg Castle ruins. From there, a great panoramic view over the Palatinate Forest, the Rhine Plain, the Vosges, and the Black Forest. Furthermore, the hike follows the Westwall route along stone memorials from 1938 - 1945. The route can be easily extended by 1) Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Route: Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Route, 2) Route of Views: Route of Views, 3) Sleeping Beauty Route: Hiking Fit - Sleeping Beauty Circular Route, 4) Route of Stories: navigation points: Ritterstein No. 194, "At the old picture" - Biosphere Reserve Pfälzerwald-Vosges du Nord - Ritterstein No. 21, "Three Oaks" - Ritterstein No. 15, "R. Castle Hut" - Castle Hill (Guttenberg Ruin) - Mundat Forest - Guttenberg Castle - Farrenberg - Stäffelsberg types of paths: natural paths, partly forest roads, partly narrower trails orientation: no hiking signs, but many other circular or long-distance hiking trails: map or GPS is therefore necessary
Author’s recommendation
Photo spot: The Stäffelsberg Tower is one of the most popular photo spots in the Palatinate Forest…, reachable on a short path from the parking lot, featuring a wonderful panoramic view of the Palatinate Forest, the Vosges, the Black Forest, and the Rhine Plain…
