    Gestartet in Steinweiler ist diese ebene Rundtour mit etwa 50km angenehm zu bewältigen. Gerade mit E-Bikes ist es m.E. eine leichte Tour und insbesondere im Frühjahr zum Spargelstart sehr gut als Auftakttour für die Fahrradsaison geeignet. Im Sommer dürfte es hier doch sehr heiß werden, da es meistens durch die Felder über offenes Gelände geht. Gut gefallen hat uns, dass es ausreichend Rastplätze gibt und der ein oder andere Hofladen zum Einkaufen einlädt. Empfehlen können wir den Hofmarkt Zapf mit u.a. wechselnden Tagesgerichten, Kaffee & Kuchen oder man genießt hier den ersten Spargel der Saison.

    Eine schöne Flachrunde in der Südpfalz, leicht zu fahren auf immer befestigten Rad- bzw. Feld- und Waldwegen. Empfehlenswert zum Einradeln im Frühjahr, auch für Kinder gut geeignet.

    Schöne Tour durch die Südpfalz. Vor Bergzabern viel auf der Straße und nach Bergzabern einmal sehr steil fürs Fahrrad. Ansonsten eine Runde, die Spaß macht. Ich bin am Bahnhof Kandel gestartet und mein Navi hat am Ende 620 Höhenmeter angezeigt

    Wir sind den Weg innerhalb von 2 Tagen mit unserer 11 Jährigen Tochter geradelt. Da die Tour fast keine Höhenmeter besitzt war es kein Problem. Bei grosser Hitze würden wir die Strecke nicht empfehlen da über grosse Distanzen der Schatten fehlt.
