Very beautiful, spacious, modern holiday apartment.
You can have a wonderful vacation with the family. Good beds, very nice new kitchen, large living room, and a small garden with sauna and terrace. And from there, you can hike beautifully or take many excursions. We had a lovely vacation in the Palatinate and can highly recommend the holiday apartment. We felt very comfortable in the holiday apartment.

For the second time in this super holiday home. Here you can relax and unwind. We were 4 adults, 1 toddler, and 1 medium-sized dog, and everyone enjoyed it. It is wonderful to return to the cool house on hot days. We will gladly and surely come back.

Warm welcome. Clean little house and very well equipped.
Lots of documentation/hiking maps available. Excellent beds and sanitary facilities. Lovely garden.
Everything positive. The only thing to keep in mind is that your (own) parking space is at the end of the garden path (about 25m). It might be a bit less pleasant to load and unload the car in the rain. But even in the little house, umbrellas are ready. We didn't need them. 1 of the 2 adjoining sheep rooms had no window, but if you are with 2, you can leave the connecting door open and keep the tilt-and-turn door open.
We certainly hope to come back here again.

Settle into a beautiful accommodation, an apartment with a terrace and garden, or a well-equipped holiday home in Rhineland-Palatinate and go on a discovery tour. A city trip in the Palatinate is always recommended - there is a lot to explore! One of the most popular attractions is Hambach Castle. It stands as a symbol of European unification and the ideals of the European Union. It was even awarded the "European Heritage Label." In the Middle Ages, Hambach Castle was one of the most important fortifications of the Speyer diocese. After numerous modernizations, the castle reopened to visitors in 2006, presenting the permanent exhibition "Up, up to the castle!" Today, you can experience a comprehensive cultural and educational program here. Classical concerts, political discussions, children's theater, or cabaret - there is something for everyone. Another highlight is the small spa town of Bad Bergzabern on the Southern Wine Route. Visit the castle or the "Zum Engel" house, one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Südpfalz Therme is also recommended, rounding off the great wellness and health offerings of the town. You can marvel at the legendary Dahner Felsenland in the Palatinate Forest. The rocks impress with their shapes and colors. Here you can enjoy nature and walk in the footsteps of knights and bygone centuries.
Eltz Castle is hidden in the greenery of the Elzbach Valley and was never destroyed. For years, the castle served as a motif for the 500-DM note. Eltz Castle was divided among three heirs in 1268. Each line expanded its own estate and accommodations over time. This led to dense construction with many towers, bay windows, and other, partly rustic, elements. The castle is in a dreamy location. From Moselkern, you can visit the complex on foot. We recommend a guided tour of the castle and a visit to the museum. One of the most visited destinations on the Moselle is also the town of Bernkastel-Kues. Explore here, for example, the "Andeler Goldschatz," a particularly well-known vineyard. Cycling, skating, or vineyard walking along the Moselle becomes an unforgettable experience here. A highlight is also the old town of Bernkastel with the medieval marketplace and the picturesque Michael's Fountain. The "Spitzhäuschen" is exceptional, appearing to balance on a very small base since 1416. Book a holiday with an apartment or holiday home and explore many more interesting places, such as Worms, Speyer (with the famous cathedral as a landmark), Dörrenbach, Pirmasens, Gossersweiler-Stein, or Traben-Trarbach. Book now a comfortably furnished holiday accommodation, house, or apartment with modern facilities, terrace, garden, kitchen, and enjoy a relaxing trip full of variety and tailored to your personal wishes in the holiday region. The dream of an unforgettable stay full of excursions into the idyllic landscape and to beautiful destinations in the sought-after federal state is within reach.
The holiday region or Kurpfalz Park Wachenheim is one of the most popular destinations for families. On an area of 700,000 m², you can explore this unique mixture of leisure and wildlife park. You will encounter wild boars, fallow deer, red deer, mouflons, or eagle owls and can observe them in their natural environment in the forest. The forest educational trail is highly recommended, where you can learn many interesting things about the nature of the Palatinate. Your children will look forward to the petting zoo "Village of Animals," as well as the maze and the adventure playground. The park also features giant slides, bumper boats, chairlifts, or swan pedal boats. Things get a bit wilder on a ride down the 600-meter-long summer toboggan run. Or visit the extraordinary shows in Kurpfalz Park Wachenheim. Spectacular are, for example, the birds of prey flight show or the wolf show. Or bring your own pet: Spend a holiday with your dog and explore with your family and four-legged friend, for instance, the Rhine Plain or the idyllic Eifel. Here you will find quaint villages, small woods, and great cycling paths (Rheinradweg, Kraut-und-Rüben-Radweg). Also, hike along the Ahr or Saar, on the Hunsrück, or stroll through the Upper Middle Rhine Valley or the Westerwald. A tip for nature lovers and the whole family is the Bienwald, a fascinating protected area with rich flora and fauna and some attractions.
Whether in the Rhein-Lahn district, Mayen-Koblenz, Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, or Idar-Oberstein - each place, each district has its peculiarities. However, when it comes to food and drink, there are some commonalities that unite the Palatinate people. Regionally known, for example, is the Palatinate stuffed pig's stomach. This was the favorite dish of former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who enjoyed this meal with Gorbachev in Deidesheim. At the "Deidesheimer Hof," pictures of this event are on display. The stuffed pig's stomach is a mix of potatoes and meat. The dish is cooked for two to three hours and then served in thick slices, often with sauerkraut. Popular dishes in Rhineland-Palatinate also include potato soups, steamed noodles, or tarte flambée (towards Alsace). Soups are often combined with sweet pastries (Berliners or plum cakes). Wine is highly esteemed in the region - naturally also because of the various growing areas and vineyards. Onion pie is often enjoyed with it. So, it's worth getting to know the region also from a culinary perspective during a holiday with holiday accommodation, apartment, or house with a kitchen. Also, participate in wine festivals and taste the delicious wine from the beautiful landscape of the Eifel.
Trier is one of the top tips if you are spending a holiday with an apartment or holiday home in the Palatinate or Rhineland-Palatinate. The most popular attraction in Germany's oldest city is the Porta Nigra, the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps. The gate dates back to a time (170 AD) when the Romans still built their public buildings from large blocks. After 1028, the Greek monk Simeon had himself walled into the east tower of the Porta Nigra. After his death, he was buried on the ground floor and canonized. Archbishop Poppo of Babenberg had two churches built into the gate in his honor, one above the other. Later, they were removed again on Napoleon's orders. However, traces of that time are still very visible. Transport yourself back to Roman times and explore Trier and its cultural and historical treasures in the old town and museums! But the Palatinate people also live in the here and now. If you rent accommodation or a house at the beginning of September, you can visit the large "Wine Festival of the Middle Moselle" in Bernkastel-Kues. Here you can taste fine wines, experience a varied music program, a magnificent parade, or a brilliant fireworks display. Or learn more about the Volcanic Eifel at the Eifel Volcano Museum in Daun. In an impressive exhibition, you can understand exactly how the volcanoes in the Eifel worked.
The Palatinate refers to a region in the south of the federal state in the travel destination Rhineland-Palatinate. It borders the Hunsrück to the northwest, the Alzey Hill Country to the northeast, Hesse and Baden to the east with the Rhine as the border, Alsace and Lorraine to the south, and Saarland to the west. The Palatinate Forest covers about one-third of the region. The highest mountain in the Palatinate Uplands is the Donnersberg. If you rent a holiday accommodation, house, or apartment privately in the beautiful Palatinate, you can get to know the splendor of the surroundings in a quiet location. Those flying into the region for their holidays land in Saarbrücken, Stuttgart, or Frankfurt am Main. If you are traveling by IC or ICE, the Mannheim-Saarbrücken route with stops in Kaiserslautern or Neustadt an der Weinstraße is recommended. The Palatinate is relatively central in Germany. Many vacationers also drive their own cars towards their accommodation or house. The main highways are the A6 and the A61. Also worth mentioning are the B9 from Mainz and the B10 from Karlsruhe. Book a cozy holiday accommodation, house, or apartment with modern facilities, terrace, garden, kitchen, and enjoy a relaxing stay full of personal luxury in an idyllic landscape.
The most beautiful destinations in the Palatinate are the places Dahner Felsenland, Kaiserslautern and Zweibrücken. Here you can experience the authentic life of the region and feel at home in cozy holiday houses and apartments.
On average, holiday apartments and houses in the Palatinate cost 121 € per night.
