    The Roman Route begins in the center of the village of Rinnthal, opposite the church, by the information and hiking board. First follow the main street westwards, at a junction turn right onto Triftweg. After the B10 underpass, continue straight ahead. Then continue on the Langenthalweg above the Langenbach. The Roman Route then turns north and leads above the Langental to the old Roman road.

    Follow the old Roman road westwards, first with the blue bar, then continue straight ahead. Below Almersberg, the Roman Route bends left parallel with the red dot to the shelter. Then follows a descent into the Wellbach valley, from where you reach the B10 and then Mühlstraße. There is still a functional mill here, as there used to be many along the Queich. Over the main street back to the starting point at the church.

    UFFBASSE! - Campaign for a considerate coexistence in nature

    • Always behave attentively, kindly, and considerately towards everyone you meet along 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 the way and take your rubbish back home.
    • Please keep your dog on a leash at all times. Other visitors and animals will thank you.
    • For your own safety, observe all path closures, even on weekends.
    • Park only in designated parking lots. Leave space for rescue vehicles and agricultural machinery.
    • Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic.

    Author’s recommendation

    It is recommended to bring a packed lunch.

    If you want to include a viewpoint on the path, take a small detour to Almersberg. With the markings of the Palatinate Forest Association this is no problem!

    Safety information

    General information:

    Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can fall afterwards. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You must expect impairments of this kind when hiking. If you think that certain sections of the paths are impassable for you, you should avoid them.

    NOTE:

    We strive to announce all closures caused by forest work or hunting groups on this platform. However, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a trail closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.

    Equipment

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

    • Sturdy footwear
    • Weather-appropriate clothing
    • Sun and rain protection
    • Adequate supply of food and drinks, as there are not always opportunities to eat or shop or they may be closed.
    • Although the paths are consistently very well marked, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable hiking map, so that you can quickly find a safe area in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency.
