Rösselsquellen Tour "Stroller Tour"
The "Rösselsquellen Tour"/Stroller Tour is a circular route 6.1 km in length, suitable for adults and children and accessible with a stroller. The route leads around Ludwigswinkel, the barefoot path and the Rösselsweiher on paved and unpaved service roads as well as meadow paths and hiking trails.
From the parking lot at the kiosk in the "Birkenfeld Leisure Park" in Ludwigswinkel, the stroller tour/Rösselsquellen Tour first leads through the leisure park and partly along the barefoot path. Then it continues marked "Wasgau SeenTour" past the Rösselsweiher and the Rösselsquelle to the bathing lake "Sägmühlweiher". There is a bathing opportunity here, so you can refresh yourself on hot days. The "Wasgau SeenTour" marking then leads back to the starting point at the kiosk in the Birkenfeld Leisure Park. The entire length of the "Rösselsquellen Tour" is 6.1 km.

Author’s recommendation
This route offers relaxation at the “Sägmühlweiher”, where bathing facilities provide a welcome change. The Birkenfeld Leisure Park with kiosk also offers variety. Here you can not only refresh and relax at the kiosk but also enjoy a beautiful mini-golf course and a playground for children.

Safety information
Especially in autumn, attention should be paid to fallen leaves on the ground that can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or rainstorms, trees can still fall or branches break off afterwards. In adverse weather conditions, natural paths can be muddy and slippery. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you consider certain sections impassable, you should bypass them. Despite the “fail-safe” markings of premium hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons so you can quickly find a safe area in case of storms or emergencies.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work, hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, situations may arise where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you encounter closures or detours on site, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
