Beautiful route through a varied forest, meadow, and stream landscape dotted with some cultural-historical sights. Especially the Waldleiningen Castle, nestled in its park-like natural surroundings, is very charming. But the idyllic hamlets Ernsttal and Breitenbach, with their building stock over 150 years old, whose origin dates back to the Principality of Leiningen, also invite you to pause briefly. However, due to the length of the route and the two challenging ascents, a good level of fitness is required.
