Kloster Rosenthal - Outer Rose Path - section

Outer rose petal edge hiking trail

Park in the parking lot at the monastery, pass the monastery. Climb the hill until we are above Stauf: sign no. 3, Way of St. James on the Kühberg, continue our path until we reach a playground. Signs no. 2-3 from there we turn into the forest. After about another half hour we reach the Göllheimer Cabin (worth a visit here), signs 1-2. From there we keep left on L396 towards Göllheim, Kriegsberger Hut: signs 5-1, follow the forest path until we reach the road junction to Kloster Rosenthal K78. We turn right, can already see the hut from here, but keep left of the road to the monastery. After 100m we turn left, follow our sign no. 5, also follow a field edge strip downhill to the Grauwald settlement. Shortly before that we turn right in the valley bottom and follow our sign no. 5, after crossing the stream we follow field paths to the Kerzweilerhof. After crossing the road, sign no. 0, after 200m we come to a barrier into the forest, at the next intersection we follow the leftmost path, slightly ascending. After a sharp left curve we follow the path almost flat going west. After 3 minutes we reach a viewpoint with a rest area. From here there is a magnificent view over the Rhine Plain and the village and Kloster Rosenthal. Downhill we follow until the monastery pond. Go through the monastery courtyard and come to the parking lot after a few minutes.
