Park in the parking lot at the monastery, pass the monastery. Climb the hill until we are above Stauf and continue on our path until we reach a playground. From there we turn into the forest. After about another half hour we reach the Göllheimer Cabin (worth a visit here). From there we keep left on L396 towards Göllheim, Kriegsberger Hut; follow the forest path until we reach the road junction to Kloster Rosenthal. We turn right, can already see the hut from here, but keep left of the road to the monastery. After 100m we turn left, follow our signs, also follow a field edge strip downhill to the Grauwald settlement. Shortly before that we turn right in the valley bottom and follow our sign; after crossing the stream we follow field paths to the Kerzweilerhof. After crossing the road we reach a barrier into the forest after 200m, at the next road junction we follow the leftmost path, slightly ascending. After a sharp left curve we follow the path almost flat going west. After 3 minutes we reach a viewpoint with a rest area. From here there is a magnificent view over the Rhine Plain and the village and Kloster Rosenthal. Downhill we follow until the monastery pond. Go through the monastery courtyard and come to the parking lot after a few minutes.
