The climatic health resort of Trippstadt at the centre of the Palatinate Forest biosphere reserve nature park offers a variety of attractions within its untouched natural surroundings : Baron von Hacke's baroque castle, the romantic Karl's Valley gorge, open-air classsical concerts in the courtyard of the Wilenstein castle ruins, the water supply tunnel, new iron-industry museum and walk, sculpture way with modern stone, wooden and metal sculptures designed by international artists etc., etc.

But the most valuable attraction of all is the Palatinate Forest itself, which was given its name at the Johanniskreuz annexe over 150 years ago. Where deadly nightshade grows, and kingfishers and wild cats live, must be the perfect surroundings for humans too. It's certainly no coincidence that the junction where roads crossed long ago has now become a very popular place for an outing.

Now enjoy discovering the climatic health resort of Trippstadt with its beautiful surroundings and plentiful opportunities for recreation and sport.
