    The route begins at the train stop in Albersweiler. Coming from the tracks, turn right and cross the canal. Through Kanalstraße, you reach the old wash place. Here the path turns left into Weinstraße. After crossing the Queich, continue straight ahead and then slightly right via Hohlstraße into Siebenmorgenstraße. Then the route turns left into Abreschviller Straße heading toward the cemetery and vineyards. At the end of Abreschviller Straße, turn right onto Heerweg and follow the paved path straight ahead until you reach Schmunzelweg. Follow Schmunzelweg to the Albersweilerer Fass. Here you must cross the Deutsche Weinstraße slightly right. Continue on the left side of the field cross, along the paved path through the vineyards to the St. Johann district, to the old cemetery and the former castle. Here turn right into Schlossstraße heading toward the St. Johann hiking car park. Shortly before the car park, the path turns left (at house number 19) and first crosses the vineyards, then the forest and the nature reserve above Albersweiler. Back in the village, turn right into the front Großthal, where the path runs over Rehbergstraße, which leads into Hauptstraße. Here turn right again and follow Hauptstraße past the inn "Zum Hirsch" to the "Wappenschmiede," where you cross the Queich. On the left, it goes back to the starting point, the Albersweiler train station.

    UFFBASSE! - Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature

    • Always behave proactively, kindly and considerately towards everyone you meet on 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 rubbish bag for your trip and take your waste home with you.
    • Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will thank you.
    • For your own safety, observe all path closures, also on weekends.
    • Park only in designated parking spaces. Leave space for emergency vehicles and agricultural machinery.
    • Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic.

    Safety information

    General information:

    Especially in autumn, be aware that leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or rainstorms, trees may still fall or branches may drop afterwards. Adverse weather conditions can lead to muddy and slippery sections on natural paths. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes necessary. You should expect such impairments when hiking. If you find certain path sections impassable, you should avoid them.

    NOTE:

    We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking paths are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or diversion, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

    Equipment

    For our hiking routes we recommend the following equipment as standard:

    • Sturdy footwear
    • Weather-appropriate clothing
    • Sun and rain protection
    • A sufficient supply of food and drinks, as refreshments or shopping options are not available or open everywhere.
    • Even though the paths are very well marked throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable hiking map, so that you can quickly find a safe area during, for example, a thunderstorm or emergency.
