    The route begins at the parking lot at the Darstein village exit. From here, the path leads right on the Rimbach-Steig into the forest. We follow this path around the Kochelstein and pass the namesake of the route, the Haselstein. Then it continues to the Kühungerfelsen and from there downhill to the Wasgauhütte Schwanheim. From Wasgauhütte Schwanheim, follow the signs back to the starting point in Darstein.

    #WatchOut! For consideration and nature conservation

    Hiking, walking, strolling, cycling, mountain biking, climbing, trekking, picnicking, forest bathing, chilling, and stopping by. Vacation and leisure outdoors should be fun and especially relaxing. This works best when we treat ourselves, others, and nature with care and attention. SO: WATCH OUT AND THINK! Be considerate of everyone on the way and especially of nature, so that we can enjoy it even in the distant future.

    At www.pfalz.de/uffbasse we have listed some behavior tips for considerate and careful coexistence.

    Safety information

    Despite the marking of the hiking trails, for safety reasons we always recommend carrying an appropriate hiking map, so that in case of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.

    Especially in autumn, be aware that leaves on the ground can hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall or branches can drop. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Such trail impairments must be expected when undertaking a hike. Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes required. If you feel you cannot walk certain sections, you should avoid them.
