    From Glan-Münchweiler the route leads past eerie sites such as the gallows, through the (in spring) beautifully blossoming Cherry Land around Altenkirchen. The round trip continues on the Saarland Cycle Path to Oberkirchen and turns onto the Fritz Wunderlich Cycle Path, named after the former star tenor "Fritz Wunderlich", leading through his hometown Kusel (Fritz Wunderlich Museum) to Altenglan.

    From the station, the cycle route continues on the Glan-Blies Cycle Path back to the starting point at Glan-Münchweiler.
