Wanderfit - Aussichten der Tuchmacher

The path starts at Lambrecht (Pfalz) train station, which you can reach either by public transport or by parking your vehicle in the adjacent parking lot. From there, the route descends into the town and passes through Schulstraße past Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, then up Marktstraße. After the monastery church, we continue towards Grabenstraße. There is the entrance to the Peace Path. We follow the Peace Path and then continue on the "Aussichten der Tuchmacher" route. At the first left bend of the gravel road, we leave it onto a fairly steep uphill path that leads us after a few hundred meters to the start of the "Tugendpfad". The Tugendpfad takes us further uphill to the "Stadter Bank" path junction. The first elevation level is reached, and on a now wide, natural path the route leads almost without further inclines to the "Beautiful View" at the "Wildsaukopf" and the wave loungers. The two names quickly become clear due to the view over Lambrecht and the rock resting on the slope. A first rest on the inviting wave loungers fits well into the schedule. Let your legs dangle and let your gaze wander over the city westward or towards Weinbiet. We continue the hike on a wide path initially without greater incline until at the next crossroads after a few hundred meters, we turn sharply left and significantly uphill. In a loop, the path leads us to the next height level, and the next two left path branches are ignored. The path now gently ascends on the north side of Schauerberg to the "Umsetzer" viewpoint. Here again, a seating area invites you to take a break, and the view from this higher vantage point offers a new perspective down on the old cloth maker town in the valley.

After the Umsetzer, the description of the path guidance known from the wave loungers almost repeats. Gently ascending further until it turns sharply left and steeply uphill. But even here, the incline ends, and we have reached the ridge. The terrain now slopes down almost on all sides, and we head in the direction of the Kaisergarten along enchanted rock formations.

The Kaisergarten was created on August 15, 1804, as a festival site for the ordered celebration of Napoleon's appointment as hereditary emperor on the "Alte Unger" cattle shelter place. The Kaisergarten, at 519 meters, is the highest point in the Lambrecht Cloister Forest. To reach the remains of the Alte Unger, simply follow the sign through the forest. Nowadays, low stone walls are still visible. Turn right onto the path (follow the marking) and cross two forest roads. Along the way, the view wanders over the heights of the Palatinate Forest. On the path, which goes through heather bushes, two wave loungers offer another opportunity to rest.

Turn right onto the marked track ("Lambrecht via 'Dicker Stein' Tower") and left before the round table. About 100 meters further, we turn sharply left onto the grass path. At the Stone of Movement, go down the stairs to the Dicker Stein Tower.

Dicker Stein Tower: The first pavilion on the Dicker Stein was already built in 1896 but deteriorated over time. In 1933, construction began on an observation tower here. In 1995 it was so dilapidated that it had to be closed. However, many helpers came together to restore the tower. Go down the path in front of the tower and at the junction turn right; now follow the marking again. Turn left onto the track and after about 220 meters, sharply right onto the path. At its end turn right onto the forest road. At a crossing, walk down left to the cemetery. Continue to follow the hiking marker. The route runs along the street. Walk down the paved street past the school. Turn right into Hauptstraße and left into Bahnhofstraße. The hike ends again at the station.
