Trifels: the history behind the three hills
An immersion in the 12th and 13th century CE in Annweiler
Overview
This tour brings you among castle ruins immersed in the beautiful Palatinate Forest. The theme is Middle Ages, with a special connection with the very King Richard I Lionheart, King of England. Among ancient walls and trees, the path is immersed in the typical atmosphere of the Palatinate forests, offering a past that just awaits to be discovered. The theme is undoubtedly medieval, in a setting that provides perfect harmony between nature and history. Through wild woods, you will explore three historical sites: Scharfenberg, Anebos and the imperial castle of Trifels.
