Maps and trails
Geographically, Erfweiler is located in the south-eastern part of the Palatinate Forest and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The region is characterised by its many forests, hills and valleys, which invite you to go hiking or cycling. The views from the 441-metre-high Weißenberg or the nearby Blättersberg are particularly beautiful.

Tourist attractions include Erfweiler Castle and St. Anna's Church with its Baroque architecture. Those interested in culture should also take a detour to nearby Hornbach, where there is an impressive monastery complex to visit.

Culinary delights include the restaurant "Zum Löwen", which offers regional specialities. Those who like to cook for themselves should definitely visit the farmers' market on Saturday mornings and buy fresh produce directly from the producer.

Outdoor activities can be pursued here all year round: In spring, hikes through blossoming fruit tree orchards are a good idea; in summer, you can go swimming or boating on the Nonnweiler bathing lake; in autumn, the forest with its bright colours beckons you to go for a walk; while in winter, skiing or sledding are possible.

Even when it rains, there is plenty to do in Erfweiler. Visit the local history museum, for example, or take a guided tour through the historic alleys of the village.

All in all, Erfweiler is a wonderful destination that has something to offer nature lovers, culture enthusiasts and gourmets alike. Whether as a day trip or a longer stay - this Travel Guide recommends a visit!

    Abwechslungsreiche Runde mit vielen sehr schönen Felsen. Ich habe beim Start noch den Backelstein mitgenommen (+60 Hm / Bilder 1-3) - tolle Lichtstimmung am Morgen nach frischem Regen in der Nacht.

    Eine schöne Tour und es wirvon allem etwas geboten! Felsen,Ausblicke,schmale Waldpfade und auch Wasser. Wobei der "Wasserfall" seinen Namen nicht verdient, aber egal. Die Runde kann man empfehlen und die Zeit braucht man auch dazu.

    Sehr schöne, vor allem abwechslungsreiche Rundtour. Wir waren mit unseren beiden 10jährigen unterwegs. Die Highlights waren natürlich die beiden Felsen, die mittels langer Leiterkonstruktionen bestiegen wurden. Es war eine sehr schöne Wanderung in einer sehr schönen Landschaft bei noch schönerem Wetter.

    Nachdem ich mich zunächst über die zunehmende Nebeldecke bei der Anfahrt geärgert hatte, stand mir durch diesen Nebel ein traumhaft schönes Naturschauspiel durch den Nebel auf dem Römerfels bevor ! Einfach nur herrlich!!!

    schöne typische Pfälzerwald Tour mit Felsen, Aussichtsfelsen und Pfälzer Hüttenkultur. Insgesamt eine empfehlenswerte und dazu noch gemütliche Tor. Idyllisch im Stefanstal die vielen Waldseen.

    tolle Tour, sehr schöne Aussichtspunkte, mal gemütliche Weg, mal schöne Pfade. Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Besonders abenteuerlich ist die Besteigung des Lanzenfurther Fels. Absolut empfehlenswert…

    Wir waren mit E- Cross- Bikes unterwegs, ohne Strom würde diese Tour für uns eher nicht in Frage kommen. Uns hat der zweite Teil der Strecke nicht so gut gefallen, der Belag war teilweise sehr holprig und stellenweise zog sich die Runde dann irgendwie... Was die Einkehrmöglichkeiten betrifft, sollte man im Vorfeld prüfen, was offen hat. Unser Favorit ist das Cramerhaus, das wir von anderen Touren bereits kennen. Wir haben unterwegs unerwartet viele Rinder auf riesigen Weiden gesehen, leider aber auch einen Zirkus "irgendwo im nirgendwo"- ein sehr trauriger Anblick, das die Ponys und Kamele eng eingepfercht in riesigen Wasserpfützen stehen müssen... Hoffentlich werden auf diesem schäbigen Platz weder Menschen noch Tiere lange verweilen oder gar überwintern... Die Beschilderung ist hier absolut top, das macht richtig Spaß, wenn man schon bei heran fahren sieht, wie es weiter geht und nicht dauernd suchen oder das Navi bemühen muss. Ein großes Lob an dieser Stelle! Unser persönliches Highlight war die Burgruine Drachenfels. Wir haben die Räder unten geparkt und sind hoch gelaufen, also Fahrradschloss nicht vergessen :-)
