    Tolle kleine Randroute die meist abseits der Straße bzw. auf Radwegen verläuft. Immer wieder toll eine Radtour in der Heimat zu fahren.

    Sehr schöne Radtour, hauptsächlich über Wirtschaftswege, zwischen Gemüsefeldern und Weinhügel (Berge wäre übertrieben). Ab und zu geht es auch durch kleine wenig befahrene Örtchen.

    Wir sind den Weg von Worms nach Bad Dürkheim gefahren, insgesamt eine schöne Route, jedoch teilweise mangelnde Markierung (bzw. vielleicht haben wir sie stellenweise übersehen?) und an einer Stelle etwas irreführend (Richtung Frankenthal, ein paar Hundert Meter weiter in die entgegengesetzte Richtung weisend). Wir haben etwas improvisiert bzw. auf die Karte geschaut und dann das Ziel gut erreicht. Insgesamt tolle Tour!
