A forest-rich, moderately difficult approx. 5 km long circular route through idyllic valleys, quiet forests, and along some springs. The Steinberghütte near Bexbach-Frankenholz is the start and end point of the route and invites you to rest and linger.

Safety information
Attention:
Basically, entering the forest and walking the hiking trails is at your own risk.
Seasonally or due to weather conditions, increased surefootedness is required on some trail sections.
Therefore, wear clothing adapted to the season and weather and hiking boots with appropriate soles.
Please particularly note:
Careful walking on constructed stairs in the forest (they may be slippery due to fallen leaves).
TOGETHER WITH RESPECT
Friendliness, understanding, and consideration for each other are fundamental principles for the cooperative use of our natural environment. The code is:
Use existing paths, follow signage, and respect trail closures
Leave no traces like litter or dog waste and treat the trail gently
Respect other users of forest and countryside
Be considerate of animals and plants
Plan ahead and use daylight
DISCLAIMER:
Despite repeated checks and careful preparation of the trail descriptions, the publisher assumes no liability for the accuracy and completeness of the information in this description.
USAGE NOTE:
Dear hiking friends, the trails also lead on natural paths through pristine nature reserves and forests. Preserving and protecting nature is very important to us.
We also want to point out the risks and therefore ask you to stay on marked trails and not to enter existing rock heads for safety reasons. Furthermore, we point out the presence of natural forest hazards. Due to weather, some spots on the trail can be softened and slippery and should therefore be walked with special caution. Firm footwear is recommended on all routes, surefootedness indispensable.
Use of the hiking trails and premium hiking trails is at your own risk.
MARKING AND SIGNAGE:
All quality trails are circular routes that can be walked in both directions. Therefore, signage is provided in both directions. Try walking the loop the other way and you will discover completely new perspectives and different viewpoints.

Roadbook
The starting point of the route is at the Steinberghütte of the Pfälzerwald-Verein Oberbexbach. From here, the route often runs parallel to the
Premium trail "Hangarder Brunnenpfad". First to the Hollerbrunnen and then to the Bruderbrunnen it goes through the forest. After the Bruderbrunnen, the hiking trail branches off to the right after a few hundred meters and runs along the forest edge to two sensory benches with a nice view of Hangard. Some time later, the loop turns right and leads to the Frankenbrunnen and later to the Karlsbrunnen. All springs are shaded in the forest and invite you to refresh and linger. After the Karlsbrunnen, it only takes a short time to reach the starting point again.
