Beam bridge in OberkirchenPhoto: Gemeinde Freisen
The 26 km long Fritz-Wunderlich Path starts at Altenglan station. Via Rammelsbach, it reaches the district town Kusel and is routed there on a former railway track that runs into Freisen in Saarland. Gently rising, from Kusel away from any roads, the Fritz-Wunderlich Path opens up the northern Palatinate Uplands. Lichtenberg Castle can be reached via the route "Around Lichtenberg Castle" with moderate inclines or in Thallichtenberg with a steep incline via the country road. There, the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle route towards Baumholder and the Castle Cycle Route also branch off. Many bridge structures and a tunnel shape the route; a special highlight is the valley bridge in Oberkirchen, which impressively spans the village and valley. Another special feature of the cycle path is that between Kusel and Pfeffelbach there are no crossings with other traffic routes - especially for families, the Fritz-Wunderlich Path scores with high safety and a great natural experience.

Safety information
General rules:
Especially in autumn, attention must be paid that leaves lying on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the way. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off. Especially under adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect such path impairments when undertaking a bike tour. If you believe certain sections are not passable for you, you should detour around them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures due to forestry work or hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where cycle paths are closed and we might not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
The road traffic regulations must be observed!
The route logo shows the happily waving Kusel cyclist and a large red note symbolizing the connection to the Kusel tenor Fritz Wunderlich. In Saarland, the path is marked with a black note.

Equipment
For our bike tours we recommend the following equipment as standard:
- Wearing a helmet
- Weather-appropriate clothing
- Sun and rain protection
- Sufficient supply of food and drinks, as not everywhere there are catering or shopping facilities available or open.
- Even though the paths are very well marked throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable
cycling map, so that in cases like thunderstorms or emergencies you can quickly find a safe area.
