Further west through the Dudenhofen city forest, along the Waldgraben and the Speyerbach, you pass Holiday Park and reach Neustadt an der Weinstraße via Speyerdorf.

Author’s recommendation
In Speyer, among other sights, the Imperial Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as numerous museums await your discovery - e.g., the Technik Museum Speyer, the Historical Museum of the Palatinate, or the SEALIFE Aquarium Speyer. In Neustadt an der Weinstraße, the old town invites you to stop for a break, and if you still have the energy, you can switch to the "Deutsche Weinstraße" cycle path.

Behind you the gigantic cathedral and in front of you the paved Maximilianstraße your route begins. Over the traffic-calmed Maximilianstraße towards the Altpörtel city gate tower and then underneath it. Immediately afterwards at Postplatz turn right into Mühlturmstraße. After the railway crossing, again turn right into Holzstraße and follow along the Speyerbach out of the city. The path first leads past the cycling community of Dudenhofen. Rudi Altig once trained on the cycling track on Iggelheimer Straße. The route continues through the Gäu, a flat landscape interspersed with streams, in the direction of the Wine Route. North of Lachen-Speyerdorf, the cycle path shares a short section with the Kraut-und-Rüben cycle path before the latter turns south. Along the Speyerbach and Rehbach, it goes to Neustadt. First via Harthäuserweg, then left into Robert-Stolz-Straße and again left along Martin-Luther-Straße. At the second street, turn right into Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, which leads into the city centre. Continue through Kellereistraße to the market square. There, cozy cafés and restaurants invite you to stop. Also worth seeing are the town hall and collegiate church. Continue on Rathausstraße. At the end turn left into Sauterstraße. Continue on Wolfsburgstraße and turn left into Würzmühle. Follow the B39 (Talstraße) out of town. Shortly before Lambrecht, turn left into Wiesenstraße. After one kilometer, turn right into Fabrikstraße and the cycle path meets the B39 (Hauptstraße) again. We follow this only a short distance and then turn right into Bahnhofstraße. After a short climb, the destination is reached.
