Geographical location

history

The nucleus of the place was the Salzwooger Hof , which was located on the historic salt road that led from Lorraine to the Rhine , and at the same time on a Woog , a small reservoir in the Salzbach that enabled a sawmill to be operated. Here in the Salzwooger Hof there was a customs station with salt scales. The court also historically belonged to Lemberg, which was located in the Lemberg office of the same name and there in the Lemberg official school . The office - and thus also the Salzwooger Hof - initially belonged to the County of Zweibrücken-Bitsch , from 1570 to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , from 1736 to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , from 1794 to France , from 1816 to Bavaria ( Rhine district ) and from 1946 Rhineland-Palatinate .

Attractions

Above all, the area east of Salzwoog, the Dahner Felsenland , is rich in bizarre rock formations made of red sandstone , which include the Teufelstisch near Hinterweidenthal and the Jungfernsprung in Dahn. A smaller counterpart to the Hinterweidenthaler is the similar-looking but smaller Salzwooger Teufelstisch , which is located west of the village at an altitude of 320 m . In the Middle Ages, castles were built on numerous mountains in the region, some of which have been restored, such as the Trifels Imperial Castle ; the Berwartstein is even inhabited. Local legends exist for many of the sights, some of which have also found their way into literature.
