Wildes Deutschland

The Palatinate Forest is located in the southwest of Germany, not far from the French border. Colorful red sandstone rocks and countless castles and ruins tower over the fragrant pine forests. The Trifels with its sublime imperial castle is the best-known rock castle. Wildcats and lynxes sneak through the undergrowth, red deer with magnificent antlers and Corsican mouflons with snail-shaped horns strut around in the largest contiguous forest area in Germany. On the border with France in the Dahner Felsenland, the landmark of the Palatinate Forest rises above the treetops: the Teufelstisch, the most famous rock formation in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park. The wine route, which runs along the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest, invites you to linger with its romantic wine villages. The region is one of the warmest in Germany. And so Rock Bunting, Praying Mantis and Green Lizard have settled in the Tuscany of Germany.
