Weinbiet

Weinbiet is a 554-meter summit in the Palatinate Forest with sandstone rock formations and mixed woodland covering its slopes. The terrain offers both open areas and dense forest patches that shape the landscape.

Weinbiet stands near the ruins of Wolfsburg Castle, built in the 13th century as a protective fortress for the region. This historical stronghold played a key role in defending the territory of that era.

The mountain paths connect to the European long-distance trail E8, forming part of an extensive network maintained by the Palatine Forest Club.

Hikes to the summit can be started from Neustadt an der Weinstraße, with parking facilities available at the Schöntal sports field. This starting point offers easy access and good preparation for the climb.

From this summit you can see across multiple landscapes including the Rhine plain, Odenwald, Black Forest, and Vosges mountains. This view connects perspectives across different regions and borders.
