After the wedding in Fischbachtal, we decided to go for a little hike on our way back to Bad Dürkheim on Sunday morning. We found what looked to be a relatively easy 3-mile hike around something called the "Felsenmeer" and went for it. I couldn't tell you exactly where this hike is as it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it was about 20 minutes southwest of Fischbachtal.
We had a mostly cloudy day for this walk, but since most of it was in the forest that was fine. The trees and soil and overall feel were different from our usual forest (the Palatinate) which was a nice change (and why we decided to do this hike in the first place).
So it turns out the Felsenmeer is an ocean or river of really large rocks. It's actually a really popular place for kids to play in and there were a lot of families hanging out there while the kids climbed all over the rocks.
Martin got in on the fun for a little bit too:
The end of the hike was through some farmland with lots of cows and horses. It was really pretty. Also, have no fear, as usual we ended up making this hike longer than it should have been. The trails were very well marked - much better than 99% of the Pfalz's trails for sure - but we didn't have a solid plan when we started out and the webpage we used to choose the hike wasn't very detailed so by the time we were done wandering around all the different trails we certainly hadn't done whatever the original 3-mile hike had been.
Note there were several huts and beer gardens and even an African restaurant!! on this hike. Distances between buildings and sites and parking lots were all really short (~1km or less) so this is a great place for anybody to have a nice hike.
