You look up at the imposing height of the Donnersberg (literally translated as “Thunder Mountain”) while contemplating hiking the steep trails. Again you think “Why not?” You brave the upward trail, following the signs. Always follow the signs! The tall trees that claw their way out of the hillside obscure the view of your destination. You trudge on. Luckily, it’s less than a half a mile. You turn a corner on the edge of a ravine and there it is: this strange arch, sprouting from the rocks on the hillside. There is a bench and you rest your weary legs. Staring through the arch, you see the rolling hills of the Donnersbergkreis. Windmills rotate lazily on the horizon; majestic eagles circle unseen prey; and you take in the view.
This is one of those obscure locations known mainly to locals. But now you know too so check it out!

There are a few places to park at the bottom of the hill. You can plug this address into your GPS: Donnersbergstrasse 18, Dannenfels. Or you can park a little further up the road at the Landgasthof Pfalzblick and grab some food on their terrace before or after your hike. Either way, expect a hike and have proper footwear!
