The loop trail takes you around and through Göcklingen, past ten stops featuring information panels about historical and scenic highlights as well as points of interest around the town.
UFFBASSE! — Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature
- Be considerate on the trail— always act thoughtfully, kindly, and considerately toward everyone you meet along the way. This is especially important on farm roads, where winemakers, farmers, and foresters work even on weekends.
- Picnics & Trash – Remember to bring a trash bag with you and take your trash home with you. Use only the designated rest areas for breaks and picnics.
- Keep Dogs on a Leash— Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will appreciate it.
We—your fellow visitors and nature—appreciate it!
Author’s recommendation
Pack a picnic basket and enjoy the view across the pond! But please be mindful: This is a natural habitat, so please act responsibly.

Safety information
Use of Farm Roads —Our tours through the vineyards often take us along paths that we share with others. We therefore ask that you always be considerate and friendly toward others. Winegrowers, farmers, and foresters use these farm roads through fields, forests, and vineyards for their daily work—including on weekends. Due to work activities and/or weather conditions, the trails may occasionally be more muddy or dirty. Extra caution is also advised when crossing roads in and around the Palatinate villages. Trail closures and detours must be strictly observed.Dangerous Situations – Should an emergency arise, quick assistance is essential. And even though cell phones can transmit GPS signals, the traditional emergency points are often the fastest way to get help. These are located in places that are easily accessible to emergency vehicles. Make a note of the locations marked with green signs and a white cross. In an emergency, return to one of these locations and provide the number on the sign when you call 911. This way, emergency responders will know where to find you.

Roadbook
Follow the signs to the “Alte Tongrube” biotope pond (2nd stop), which was created in the 1970s and 1980s by clay mining. Don’t skip this detour, because at the biotope pond you can enjoy a magnificent view of the lake and some peace and quiet. After a short break by the water, follow the path back to the bridge, cross the Kaiserbach once more, and follow the trail along the Kaiserbach to the panoramic bench and a sandstone staircase (3rd stop), which leads down to the stream. On hot days, you can cool your feet here and feel the sand in the stream bed beneath your soles.
Continue along the Kaiserbach, then through Mühlgasse back into town. You’ll now pass the Protestant church , built in 1788–89 in the Neoclassical style (4th stop), the historic town hall—which was built as a schoolhouse in the 19th century—and the Catholic church behind it, also built in the Classicist style in 1791, and through the Laurentiusgarten (5th stop). Before long, you’ll be back on the outskirts of town.
Carefully cross the country road and immerse yourself in the sea of vines at the Kaiserberg vineyard. Climb up through the vineyards and take a short detour to Moser’s Fountain ( Station 6). From the bench, you can enjoy the view of the village and the gentle splashing of the fountain before continuing uphill to the Setzerberg (Station 7). At the spot where the rest area is located today, there used to be a toll station on this high-altitude trail. The name “Setzerberg” comes from the fact that the toll was “set” here. Today, you’re more likely to find yourself sitting here, enjoying the view.
The trail now continues on relatively flat ground to the resting bench at Flehnsberg (8th station) and from there descends again to the country road, which you’ll cross. You’ll continue walking through fields and meadows to the cemetery and the 18th-century wayside chapel (9th station) on the outskirts of town. Through the vineyards and over the Kieselberg (10th station), the trail leads back to the Kaiserberghalle, the starting and ending point of the tour.

Equipment
Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, and a sufficient supply of food and, above all, drinks—since not all places to stop for refreshments or shop are available or open—should be packed in your backpack for every hike. Although the trail is marked throughout, you should always carry a suitable map or a hiking app with you for safety reasons.Human-created
