    Die Tour ist toll in jeder Jahreszeit. Aber Achtung die Wegmarkierung ähnelt der der Ringelsbergroute sehr stark. Ist uns heute leider erst zu spät aufgefallen 🤣

    Eine Wanderung die wir immer wieder gerne machen um die Aussicht zu genießen oder die leckeren, abwechslungsreichen Tagesessen, die von den ehrenamtlichen HelferInnen der Landauer Hütte angeboten werden. Es gibt auch vegane und vegetarische Gericht und verführerische Torten und Kuchen ... Die Landauer Hütte ist immer wieder einen Besuch wert.

    Ergänzende Hinweise zur Wegbeschreibung: Von Anfang an wird man vom immer gut sichtbaren Schild „Pfälzer Hüttentour“ begleitet. Aber UFFBASSE: Ab der Landauer Hütte nicht mehr diesem Schild folgen, sondern dem Weg mit der Markierung: ROT/WEIßer Balken. Und zwar – gemäß Wegbeschreibung - in die Richtung, wo es sogleich runter geht; runter zum Hainbach. D.h., man geht nicht quer über die große Wegekreuzung vor der Landauer Hütte. Und noch etwas: Nach der Walddusche nicht mehr dem Hainbach folgen; diesen also auch nicht überqueren, sondern links halten. So kommt man wieder auf den Hauptweg, über den man dann im langgestreckten Links-Bogen wieder zum Parkplatz gelangt. Übrigens gibt es auf der halben Strecke, also nach dem Trifelsblick aber noch vor der Landauer Hütte bei der Dreimärker Wegekreuzung einen schönen Rastplatz mit Bänken und auch eine Schutzhütte.

    Die Tour ist auch im Winter gut zu gehen. Die Wege sind wie beschrieben meist breite Waldwege. Eine Einkehr in der Landauer Hütte ist immer lecker. Die Burg Neuscharfeneck war noch geschlossen, aber auch von außen imposant anzugucken.

    Kleine Wanderung mit viel Sonne und schönen Aussichten. Einziger Wermutstropfen - man geht viel auf asphaltiernden Wegen. Wir würden diese Wanderung als Einstieg in die Saison wieder machen aber dann auch eher andersherum gehen (Flemlingen- Böchingen-Gleisweiler etc.
