The Story

This place is a gem on the Südliche Weinstraße! Wander myriad trails in this part of the Pfalz and you can see it all: dark forests, hidden restaurants and spectacular views of the famous wine-producing region of the Südliche Weinstraße.

There are so many things to see and do in this area: visit the town of Edenkoben where you can turn your kids loose at the Alla Hopp Playground, take the chairlift of the Rietburg, and tour the grounds of the Hambacher Schloss. You can finish off this tour by taking the so-called “Totenkopfstrasse” back to K-Town.

All these things to see and do and they are just 1 hour away from Kaiserslautern. So get off your hindquarters and see something this weekend! You’re welcome.

Tips for your visit

There is a decent sized parking lot up there. When you follow the signs, you will find yourself on a very narrow road that looks like if would be off-limits, we assure you that it is not.

To get there from K-Town, we recommend taking the aforementioned Totenkopfstrasse (which starts just east of Elmstein) through the Palatinate Forest where you can white-knuckle it through the narrow road perched on the side of the mountain while dodging bikers, cars and other vehicles! This road is not for the faint of heart but something about which you can tell your friends and family at parties!
