The shortest Pfälzer Weinsteig stage leads through the forests, meadows, and vineyards of Klingenmünster, via the holiday resorts Gleiszellen and Pleisweiler, to the beautiful spa town of Bad Bergzabern.
The shortest stage of the Pfälzer Weinsteig convinces with the charm of the landscape and the flair of the southern Palatinate holiday resorts Gleiszellen and Pleisweiler-Oberhofen. Your destination is the spa town of Bad Bergzabern. From the monastery in Klingenmünster, the path runs through the vineyards towards the park area and along the Klingbach upwards through the vineyards towards Gleiszellen. Over paved alleys, you pass the Hatzelberg fountain on the outskirts, enter the forest area and let yourself be guided along the slopes of Hatzelberg and Röhlberg to the crossroads at Seicheneck. Following the flow of the Hirtenbach, the path leads along the valley floor to the Wappenschmiede. The historic half-timbered house in Pleisweiler invites you to stop for a meal before the hike ends through vineyards in the spa town of Bad Bergzabern. The old town, the parks and the Südpfalz-Therme offer relaxation and recreation.

-
Fire & smoking - Lighting fires, smoking and grilling are strictly prohibited in the forest and must be avoided at all costs! Fires and thus major damage to nature and wildlife can only be prevented this way.
-
Be considerate on the way - Always behave considerately, friendly and respectfully to everyone you meet on the way.
-
Nature conservation - Stay on the marked paths and avoid unnecessary noise when you are in nature. Leave the forest at dusk at the latest to avoid disturbing the rhythm of nocturnal animals.
-
Picnic & waste - Take a rubbish bag with you and bring rubbish back home. Use only the furnished rest areas for breaks and picnics.
-
Leash your dogs - Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will thank you.

Safety information
Hiking on natural paths and trails - Especially in autumn, pay attention to the fact that leaves lying on the ground can conceal uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off afterward. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, there can be muddy and slippery sections on natural paths. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You have to expect such path impairments when hiking. If you think certain sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them. Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the premium hiking trails, we recommend always carrying an appropriate hiking map for safety reasons, so that in case of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly reach a safe area. Path closures and detours must be strictly observed.
Danger situations - Should an emergency occur, quick help is needed. And although cell phones can send GPS signals, at classical rescue points it is often fastest. These are located at places easily accessible to rescue vehicles. Remember the points with green signs and a white cross. In case of emergency, return there and give the number on the sign to your emergency call. This way, rescue forces will know where to find you.

Roadbook
We start at the monastery in Klingenmünster and walk through a park along the Klingbach before ascending through sunny vineyards to reach the village of Gleiszellen. We stroll leisurely through the alleys of the pretty village. Shortly past the Hatzelberg fountain, we enter the forest and hike along the slopes of Hatzelberg and Röhlberg to the crossroads Am Seicheneck. Then we descend in the shade of the trees into a small valley, which we follow downhill into a larger valley. A comfortable path along the valley floor takes us past a tennis court (5) to the beautiful historic half-timbered building of the Wappenschmiede restaurant in Pleisweiler, where we can refresh ourselves. We leave the village behind and continue hiking through scenic vineyards, passing a shelter surrounded by vines, onto the spa town of Bad Bergzabern. Here, the winding old town invites for a stroll, and idyllic parks as well as the Südpfalz-Therme invite you to relax. The magnificent Bad Bergzabern castle and the splendid Renaissance building of the gasthaus "Zum Engel" are also worth a visit.
