A very comprehensive self guided audio tour of one of the largest castle ruins in the area. Well worth a visit, easy to spend a half day here, great spot for a picnic.

Trifels Castle

Reviewed By FireballH - London, United Kingdom

Don't expect lots to do here but there is a movie room, a small exhibition, lots of information on the fortress and it's inhabitants (and prisoners such as Richard the Lionheart) and a picnic area. The view, however, is absolutely breathtaking and well worth the hike! There's (paid) parking just a few minutes (as in: short but steep climb) away from the entrance but I suggest parking a bit further out and hiking to the fortress as the forest is tranquil and beautiful! In any case, Ladies, I recommend sneakers, no matter which option you pick. You can buy snacks and souvenirs at the paid parking area but I suggest packing a picnic and making use of the fortress's picnic tables.

Dynamikum

Reviewed By Edwin-and-Esmeralda - Mehlingen, Germany

Specially for your children it's a nice hands on science experience. But even for us it was fun to experience some of the tests. We have a 5year old son and he was overexcited when we started, but after the first round and something to drink, we went for a second round. This time with a little bit more patience.

Gradierwerk Bad Durkheim (Saline)

Reviewed By jimvincent3117 - Calgary, Canada

We were doing the fine prescribed long walking tour of Bad Durkheim Old town area and after the great park came upon this amazing 300 meter long “device”. It is a Saline Concentrator. Built for helping the lungs by the use of breathing a more saline air... Sort of like living by the sea... It is on big honkin structure and has many hundred of thousands of brush branches supported by a very robust wooden structure. There is a scale model of a working waterwheel and pump system which supplies the brine to a miniature saline tower which will impress. To me, is seems like one heck of a lot of work to go to in look of salty air like the seaside but obviously they thought so in 1857 or so to build it and a couple of times when it burnt down.
