Camping am Königsberg

Renting a bike on site (or an e-bike if you feel like a less taxing ride – you are on hol after all) is highly recommended here: the locale is networked by highly scenic cycling routes to ride around at your leisure. The North Palatine Uplands (aka Pfälzer Bergland) make for a splendid pedal-based or à pied adventure, as do the neighbouring woodlands and the castle ruins of Burg Neu-Wolfstein. For less local jaunts without a car, take a train at the station in Wolfstein to journey to Lauterecken and Kaiserslautern for more cycling options. For an easy day out, the surrounding area is dotted with towns filled with pretty old half-timbered houses, with those worth special mention including Herrstein and Meisenheim. Shopping aficionados can head to the meccas of Kaiserslautern, Bad Kreuznach and Mannheim – all 75 minutes’ or less by car – to procure all manner of trinkets and garments and, if you’re feeling especially generous, souvenirs for those back home.
