A rather unspectacular yet beautiful circular hike through the very quiet Palatinate Forest here on very narrow paths around Deidesheim. There are only a few viewpoints. However, the vineyards above Königsbach offer a nice view. There are also nice resting places with tables and benches there.

    Schöner, einfacher Rundweg entlang der berühmten Forster Spitzenlagen Ungeheuer, Kirchenstück, Jesuitengarten, Pechstein, Musenhang mit toller Weitsicht in die Rheinebene rein, leider aber auch fast nie mit Schatten (außer man weicht oben am Waldrand ein bisschen von der Route ab) Gewandert am 2.5.2025 bei wolkenlosem Himmel und 28C

    Schöne Tour ab dem Parkplatz. Vor allem der erste Teil bis zum Eckkopfturm ist richtig gut. Das Turnerehrenmal muss man an der Stelle mal erwähnen, da es sehr imposant ist. Der Aufstieg im "Felsenmeer" war klasse. Die Aussicht vom Eckkopfturm ist der Wahnsinn. Dann ebbt die Tour ein wenig ab und sie zieht sich in die Länge. Der Schlussabschnitt nach der Deidesheimer Hütte sollte man entlang der Weinbach gehen, da dies abwechslungsreicher als die oben geführte Straße ist. Bei gutem Wetter und Sonntag ist der Parkplatz rappel voll.

    Schönes abwechslungsreiche Tour, zunächst durch Weinberge mit unzähligen Rastplätzen. Nach knapp 5 km erreicht man die Deidesheimer Waldschänke, die zur Erfrischung einlädt. Es folgt nun der Anstieg auf den höchsten Punkt, den Stabenberg, der mit seinen knapp 500m Höhe eine tolle Fernsicht zum Hambacher Schloss und zum anderen Rastplätze bietet. Der Aufstieg mit knapp 3km Länge ist aber sehr gut zu bewältigen, der er gleichmäßig moderat erfolgt. Der Abstieg erfolgt über wunderbare schmale Pfade hinab zum Forsthaus Benjental und zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Alles in allem sehr gelungen.

    Schöne Tour im Pfälzer Wald. Anstatt den Startpunkt kann man noch etwas weiterfahren zu einem Wanderparkplatz und damit den "Asphalt-Teil" vermeiden. 05:30 Stunden ist ziemlich sportlich.

    Die Route zu finden war für uns als Wander-Anfänger überhaupt kein Problem. Einfach den Weg nach Norden nehmen, wenn man an der Startkreuzung steht. Die Tour hat schöne kraxelige Wege, zeigt tolle Natur und bietet such genügen Örtlichkeiten wo man zwischendurch mal Essen zubereiten kann. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen!

    Wir sind die Runde nicht genau nach der Karte gelaufen, hatten einen Umweg über den Pfalzblick (Rehberg) und haben den Weinbiet komplett ausgelassen und sind statt dessen direkt nach Gimmeldingen abgestiegen. Alles in allem trotzdem rund 20km, stramm gelaufen in 4 Stunden. Aufgrund der Auf- und Abstiege eine konditionell anspruchsvolle Tour auf überwiegend schmalen Pfaden.
