Reipoltskirchen - "Art in the green and magnificent views"

The hike starts in Reipoltskirchen (Hauptstraße parking lot), with the former water castle, which has become a true gem after its renovation by the Kusel district. The flooded moat and the geometric plant arrangements offer a beautiful sight. We follow the "Veldenz-Wanderweg" marking, a hiking trail certified according to the European standard "Leading Quality Trail."

The hiking trail around the water castle leads over a sculpture trail, which was newly laid out in recent years (stations – see under author's tip!).

After many fantastic views, we reach the Wolfersheck hill to the marking "Yellow Bar," which we follow southwest (uphill).

Over the Galgen and Simpterberg, we reach the country road K 41, which on the right takes us to Hohenöllen, where we encounter the "Veldenz-Wanderweg" again.

In Hohenöllen, there is a magnificent view of the "Lauter loop."

Quiet forests and the babbling of the Sulzbach, which we cross, invite you to dream.

After the Hobstätter Hof, with its restaurant "Der Pferdestall," we reach the 4th stage destination, the Ausbacherhof, an agricultural family business with direct marketing as well as a learning and adventure farm. The snack bar "Rusticus" offers guests a refreshment station; a farm café has been completed.

From the Ausbacherhof, we descend into the Odenbach valley – the path leads around the Steinkopf and along beautiful narrow forest paths. At the forest edge, the view opens up to the Odenbach valley, and soon the community of Reipoltskirchen comes into sight, the destination of our hike.
