The "Leisure and Adventure Route Zweibrücker Land" leads through the rose city of Zweibrücken along the Schwarzbach via Contwig, the monastery town of Hornbach, back to Zweibrücken. Enjoy the beautiful views over France or the Sickinger Höhe on this specially selected bike route for you.
(Access route main train station <--> route: 3.4 km)
The "Leisure and Adventure Route Zweibrücker Land" starts, for example, at the main train station Zweibrücken and passes by the rose garden of the city of Zweibrücken towards Contwig with its outdoor heated pool and the water playground "Con Aqua". Near Falkenbusch, a barefoot path invites you to rest. The route leads over Walshausen through Klein- and Großsteinhausen as well as the "Stork Meadow" near Dietrichingen to Mauschbach.
Then it proceeds to the monastery town Hornbach with its monastery hotel. Here there is the "Historama" museum - with an interactive history exhibition. The path then goes through the Hornbach valley to Rimschweiler. Here a detour to "The Style Outlet", an outlet center for brand clothing, is worthwhile.
With a relaxing descent, the recreation area Fasanerie with a baroque garden monument and the wild rose garden is reached. Shortly after, it goes back via the well-known path to the main train station Zweibrücken. (Access route main train station <--> route: 3.4 km)
UFFBASSE! - Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature
Travel considerately - always behave prudently, kindly, and considerately towards everyone you meet on the way. This is especially true on service roads where vintners, farmers, and foresters also work on weekends.
Picnic & waste - Remember to bring a garbage bag for the way and take waste back home with you. Use only the furnished rest areas for breaks & picnics.
Nature conservation - Stay on the designated paths and avoid unnecessary noise when you are in nature. Leave the forest by dusk at the latest to not disturb the rhythm of nocturnal animals.
Author’s recommendation
Visit the Historama at the monastery in Hornbach. Here, where the mystique of the sacred place is still palpable today, you can dive deep into history at multimedia stations, among other things. The “Historama Monastery Hornbach” is a multimedia museum and tells about Saint Pirminius and the importance of the monastery in the Middle Ages.

Safety information
Our bike routes often run on paths shared with others. Therefore, we ask for considerate and friendly behavior at all times. Farmers and foresters use the service roads through fields and forests for their daily work (also on weekends) and thus always have priority. Due to work operations and/or weather conditions, these roads may also be temporarily dirtier. Special caution is also advised when riding on the (usually quiet and little trafficked) streets in and around the Palatinate villages.
