    Roadbook

    Start at Dobel spa house, over the Sonnenweg with a wide view to the west as far as the Palatinate Forest. Past the water tower, head towards the sports field and then to the Pfützenhäusle junction, which we cross to turn right onto the Gidesweg.
    About 3 km lie ahead of us, where we circle the Maienbergkopf. The highest point of our route is the "Ilsebänkle" on a clearing.
    Remember to bring your drinks and enjoy the fresh air and tranquility.
    Going straight ahead, we reach the paved path that leads us left back to the Sonnentor.
