Safety information
Safety instructionsDespite the well-signposted trail markers along the premium hiking trails, we recommend for security reasons to always have an appropriate hiking map so that, for example when a storm occurs, you can quickly either find shelter or get out of the woods.
Especially in the autumn it is also important to remember that leaves lying on the ground can conceal irregularities, such as roots, rocks or holes in the path. Following storms, trees can have been uprooted or have branches hanging down. Such path impairments have to be expected when using such trails. Especially in adverse weather conditions, it may occur that the trails and paths turn into muddy and slippery passages. Path impairments of this kind have to be expected when you go out for a hike. Not all rocks or slopes are secured with ropes or railings and sure footedness is required. Should you be of the opinion that these are not accessible to you then you should try and get around them.
NOTICE:
We endeavour to announce all closures caused by forest works, hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you encounter closures or diversions on site, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The start and finish of the hike is the hiking car park at the PWV hut in Schneiderfeld. Below the Elwetritschefelsen, the trail marker – a black K over a black hill on a white background – indicates the direction of travel. In a slight incline it goes uphill over the Otto-Eisel-Weg to the Weihersebene. After just a few minutes' walk, the silence of the forest is noticeable. Through mysterious mixed forest, the narrow path leads past moss-covered stones and boulders to the first
Viewpoint: the Jakobsfelsen. A bench seat tempts you to rest and enjoy. From up here you have one of the most beautiful views of the city of Dahn below.
In generous loops, the path winds back down the mountain and merges into a wider forest path. At a bend, the forest clears and gives a magnificent view of the legendary Jungfernsprung, the landmark of Dahn. In autumn, this section of the trail is a real rush of colour. Between the Conifers shimmer in all shades of yellow, orange and red during this time. The path ends at the Kneipp facility just above the road. After a refreshing foot bath, the path is full of energy uphill again. Eleven steps lead up to the Schillerfelsen. At the foot of the rock there is the possibility to take a short break on a bench and admire the countless stone pyramids around it. Coniferen glinsteren in alle tinten geel, oranje en rood gedurende deze tijd. Het pad eindigt bij de Kneipp-faciliteit net boven de weg. Na een verfrissend voetenbad is het pad weer vol energie bergopwaarts. Elf treden leiden naar de Schillerfelsen. Aan de voet van de rots is er de mogelijkheid om een korte pauze te nemen op een bankje en de talloze stenen piramides eromheen te bewonderen.
On a clear day, the opposite castle group Altdahn can be seen in the distance.
Further steps lead past the rock massif on the right. A wooden railing serves as an aid for the steep ascent. Now it gets adventurous, because the path leads through a narrow crevice. This section is also part of the well-known Dahner Felsenpfad. Arrived on the mountain ridge, the next attraction is already waiting:
the viewing pulpit on the Schwalbenfelsen. From here you have a great view of the city of Dahn and the Jungfernsprung towering out of the mountain. The bench on the rocky plateau is understandably a popular resting place.
On the mountain ridge, the walk continues through beautiful mixed forest to the Felsenarena. Like in an open-air cinema are along the rock massifs
la chaire d’observation sur le rocher de l’hirondelle. De là, vous avez une vue imprenable sur la ville de Dahn et le premier saut de la montagne. La banquette sur le plateau rocheux est, à juste titre, un lieu de repos populaire.
Sur la crête de la montagne, la randonnée se poursuit à travers une belle forêt mixte jusqu’à l’arène rocheuse. Comme dans un cinéma en plein air sont le long des massifs rocheux to observe impressive plays of light and colours on the rock layers of the bunter sandstone. Depending on how the sun is, the rocks are illuminated and illuminated – a great experience at any time of the year. Meditative is the last section of the path over the pond plain, through the meadow idyll of the Kühwoog back to the starting point of the Kauert tour. An extensive snack in the hut of the Palatinate Forest Association concludes the eventful and relaxing hike.
