Forest & Nature in Bad Dürkheim
Hiking, lookout rocks and the Isenach valley
Right behind the vineyards begins the Palatinate Forest, the largest contiguous woodland in Germany and part of a UNESCO biosphere reserve. From the Limburg monastery ruin and the mysterious Heidenmauer rampart, hiking trails climb up to lookout rocks such as the Drachenfels, where the gaze sweeps far across the Rhine plain. The idyllic Isenach valley leads you deep into the forest along streams and shady paths. Whether you prefer gentle strolls or longer tours, the nature around Bad Dürkheim unites wine-growing landscape and rugged forest wilderness in the closest of quarters.
