Fleischackerloch
The Fleischackerloch is a romantic ravine with primeval-like old trees.
The pastures and fields used to be rented out against delivery of meat, hence the name of this natural monument.
Well developed long distance paths and footpaths, such as the ´Westpfalz-Wanderweg` and the ´Pfälzer Jakobspilgerweg`, which run past impressive rock formations between Fleischackerloch and Bismarckturm, invite visitors to leave every day stress behind and enjoy voyages of discovery well away from the hustle and bustle of traffic. |
