Cross-border cycling route "Friendship Route"

From Obersteinbach, the route passes in front of the Lutzelhardt Forest House. On a paved cycle path, you continue on a flat trail through a mixed forest to the "Black Board" at the Franco-German border, with information panels about the history of the two nations.

Another point of historical interest is the "Modern Castle" - Area1, a special arms depot from the Cold War with its circular route of 12 interpretation panels on this subject.

The Friendship Route now passes by the Rösselsweiher and the Rösselsquelle until we reach the Ludwigswinkel climate resort. Continue past the Mühlenweiher (Saarbacherhammer) to the village of Fischbach with its treetop path and biosphere house.

Now, we cycle along a path following the water to Schönau and pass the "Heilsbach" education and leisure center.

Continue through the village of Schönau and then gently climb to the typical Alsatian village "Wengelsbach." From there, the tour now leads steeply uphill in hairpin bends and turns towards Klingelfels.

Here, you can make a detour to the legendary ruin of the "Wasigenstein" castle.

When the Götzenberg pass, the highest point of this route, is reached, we descend to Obersteinbach back to our starting point.
