Laufclub Bad Dürkheim 25 km route

The running route starts at the "Schlagbaum", the intersection of eight paths. First marking opposite on a beech tree on the wide driving path. Always slightly uphill, after about 5 km comes the small road (L 518) Bad Dürkheim-Höningen. Follow the road to the left about 100 m, turn right into a path and immediately left onto a trail (direction Höningen). Leave the trail after about 500 m to the left and uphill and cross the road again. On the other side into the forest and down the path to the right. Further down comes a wide forest road from the valley. Follow this uphill about 200 m and turn left onto a slightly sandy forest path at the top. Stay on this path, at a short downhill passage there is a bare slope (from the storm). Here uphill again and at the top turn left around the mountain (the summit is the Rahnfels). At the end of this path is a large turning area, the trail goes uphill to the right. At the top through some blackberry bushes, again down to the left. Past a hunting seat, you reach the "Flachsacker" below. Here about km 10. Straight ahead, opposite uphill, turn right into the second path at the top and circle the (Kieskaut-)Mountain on a loop about 5 km long. (Without this loop, immediately turn left below, at the end about 20 km total.) After the round around the mountain, again at the Flachsacker, immediately sharp right and continue on the wide forest road about 200 m. Then sharp left and continue on this forest path to a "roundabout". Turn left, always along the mountainside (below the Herweg), it goes back into the valley. Down again a wide forest road (the one from before!). Follow this to the right for a while into the valley. At a crossroads cross straight over and uphill again. At some point the regular path ends and continues as a trail. We stay on the path and turn left uphill earlier. At the top it leads into the already known Herweg and back to the Schlagbaum.
