Quiet and idyllic lies the small Wasgau community, away from traffic noise, in the southeastern part of the Palatinate Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve. Surrounded by nature, relaxing hiking trails and wonderful views let you forget the stress of everyday life.
Oberschlettenbach lies in a basin, about 230 m above sea level. To the east it opens to the Rödelstein and the Lindelbrunn castle ruins and to the south is bounded by the Buchberg. To the west are the Buhlsteine and to the north the Heßlerberg.
Two free-flowing fountains testify to the community's abundance of water; in some properties open springs still flow directly into the rainwater channel. The fountain in the village center is adorned with a sign bearing the inscription: "Whoever drinks a glass daily has a hundred years of manly strength, only if he does not die earlier and thus spoils the fun."
Whether our water really possesses such healing powers, everyone should try for themselves; so far, it has not harmed anyone.

Generally applies:
Especially in autumn it should be noted that leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees or branches may still fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery in places. Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in some places. You have to expect such path impairments when hiking. If you think certain sections are impassable for you, you should avoid them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
