Bride and Groom

The Bride and Groom formation consists of two sandstone towers reaching 26 meters in height, connected by a central climbing passage called Großer Kamin.

The sandstone towers remained standing while surrounding rock layers eroded over millions of years, creating the current shape in the Palatinate Forest landscape.

Local climbing enthusiasts maintain eleven different routes on these rocks, with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to expert according to the UIAA scale.

Visitors can access the formation through marked trails near the Dahn Youth Hostel, with detailed climbing route information available at the local tourism office.

The formation received its name from the two distinct towers that stand side by side, resembling a couple at their wedding ceremony.
