We visited the Palatinate (German: Pfalz) region which is is located west of Mannheim, north of the Rhein. This region is known for its wine, its mountain range, its castles and its ruins.
It was early March, therefore there was not yet much to see from winery, however we saw some nice point of view.
This is the Hambacher Schloss (castle)
A short hike along the mountain side brought us to this point of view on the castle:
… and this one.
Here a view from the highest summit of the region : Kalmit (672meters)
The weather was not great the last few days, but we managed to get a few good pictures between showers.
