Autumn festival in the Palatinate Forest: A festival for young and old in Bad Dürkheim!

Autumn has arrived and the Palatinate Forest Association in Bad Dürkheim celebrated this with a big party. This year's autumn festival took place in the “In der Weilach” hut, a highlight in the club's life, which primarily serves as a meeting place for young and old. Rüdiger Koch, the long-time chairman, emphasized that such events strengthen the community spirit and show what youthful and cross-generational togetherness means in the club. There was a lot of program around the hut over three days.

At the beginning of Friday, dry autumn weather awaited the guests, inviting them to celebrate. The visitors were treated to culinary delicacies from the Palatinate and musical entertainment. A special highlight was the music duo Why Not, who brightened up the evening with their diverse repertoire of traditional Palatinate songs and modern sounds. The feedback from guests was consistently positive, and the hut was transformed into a place full of laughter and conviviality.

A colorful children's program

Saturday was all about children. A diverse children's afternoon ensured that the little ones could get creative. The children were immediately engaged in craft activities such as designing birdhouses and weaving bracelets from natural materials. The forest crowns were also very popular - not only with children, but also with adults, who discovered crafting in their own creative way.

Another highlight of the day was the captivating magic show by “Magic Alessandro”. With his extraordinary tricks and the involvement of children, he managed to captivate the young spectators and amaze them.

Commitment to nature and culture

The Palatinate Forest Association Bad Dürkheim, founded in 1903, has established itself as an important player in the care and preservation of the Palatinate Forest. With around 540 members who enjoy getting involved in the club's activities, the area's hiking trails are continuously looked after and regional culture is promoted. The “In der Weilach” hut is open on weekends and public holidays and offers both hikers and day-trippers a cozy place to stop.

Like the club's website pwv-d-dw-7ya.de informed, the focus is not only on preserving nature, but also a variety of activities are offered, such as guided hikes and special programs for seniors. This shows the voluntary commitment of the members, who make their contribution to the preservation of the Palatinate Forest and promote regional nature conservation.

The Palatinate Forest huts, which are looked after by local groups such as the Bad Dürkheimer Verein, are now part of a UNESCO world cultural heritage site and offer a dense network of places to stop for refreshments. Traditional meadow irrigation and the maintenance of the landscape structure contribute to the return of many animal and plant species, as reported by suedpfalz.de can be read. Here the entire commitment flows together so that subsequent generations can enjoy the beauty of nature.

This year's autumn festival is coming to an end in the Palatinate Forest Association, but the memories of it remain alive. It shows that the association is not only a place of gathering, but also an active part of nature conservation and regional cultural care.
