    Start and finish is at the Rheinberger building which houses the Science Center Dynamikum. A hands-on museum where touching is expressly allowed. The tourist info is located on the ground floor. There you can rent pedelecs for half-day or full-day tours. Adjacent is the Strecktal park. Herb garden and a lake invite you to relax. There is also a disc golf facility in the park. In Dusenbrücken, you pass the Eichelsbachermühle, Schelermühle, and Littersbachermühle before reaching the town of Niedersimten. Here you can discover the impressive Westwall Museum. The Naturfreundehaus Niedersimten invites you to enjoy typical Palatinate dishes.

    On this circular route, we find portals that excitingly present the history of the mill valleys.

     UFFBASSE! - Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature

    • Always behave attentively, kindly and considerately towards everyone you meet along the way.
    • Respect nature, do not destroy plants, and always stay on the paths. Try to avoid excessive noise and leave the forest before dusk.
    • Remember a trash bag for the way and take your waste back home.
    • Please keep your dog on a leash at all times. Other visitors and animals will thank you.
    • For your own safety, observe all path closures, even on weekends.
    • Park only in designated parking areas. Leave space for emergency vehicles and agricultural machinery.
    • Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to the Science Center "Dynamikum" rounds off the tour. Worth seeing is also the adjacent Bürgerpark Strecktal. Pure nature in the middle of the city.

    Safety information

    Cycling on farm roads - Our bike routes often run on paths that are shared with others. We therefore ask for considerate and friendly behavior at all times. Winemakers, farmers, and foresters use the farm roads through fields, forests, and vineyards for their daily work (also on weekends) and always have priority. Due to work operations and/or weather conditions, these paths can sometimes be more heavily soiled. Special caution is also advised when cycling on the (mostly quiet and lightly trafficked) roads in and around the Palatinate villages.

    Hallo Herr Mildenberger, leider besteht der Grund für die Umleitung (Hangrutsch) weiterhin. Es werden leider die Absperrungen immer wieder entfernt. Dies wird regelmäßig kontrolliert. Ebenso sind Umleitungsschilder vorhanden. Auch diese werden regelmäßig kontrolliert.

    Sehr geehrter Herr Köppe, drüber wurde sich lange Gedanken gemacht. Pirmasens ist nicht die klassische Radregion mit geübten Radlern. Der Rundweg war die erste richtige ausgeschilderte Radtour in Pirmasens. Man ging davon aus, dass überwiegend ungeübte Personen mit dem Pedelec unterwegs sind. Deshalb entschied man sich für den Anstieg von Niedersimten nach Pirmasens (mit einem Pedelec problemlos machbar) und nicht für die umgekehrte Richtung. Da die Abfahrt für unsichere Radfahrer die größere Herausforderung darstellt. Ich hoffe ich konnte Ihnen weiterhelfen. Bei Fragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Vanessa Ott

    Den Radweg Dynamikum Pirmasens bin ich gefahren. Ich meine die Richtung ist nicht so entscheidend wegen der Steigungen sondern wegen des Gefälles. Als geübte Radlerin eines normalen Tourenrads finde ich die Abfahrten schwieriger. Die Ausschilderung könnte deutlicher sein - da hatte ich meine Schwierigkeiten. Die geschichtlichen und landschaftlichen Eindrücker waren sehr schön. Herzliche Grüsse Ruth Wünstel-Schiefer
