Places to Visit and Leisure Activities

What's Happening Here...

• Our Lauterecken -
  where the Glan and Lauter rivers meet
  Our beautiful little town of Lauterecken is located in the scenically charming provincial region of the North Palatinate Uplands (Nordpfälzer Bergland). Excursionists, holidaymakers, and hikers particularly appreciate the unspoiled and idyllic landscape, as well as the hearty and delicious "Palatinate Cuisine" (Pfälzer Küche). It is perhaps the cozy, open nature of the "Palatinate Charm" that makes the world a little different here.
