    Ich bin den Teil zwischen Neustadt und Wachenheim gefahren zur der Mandelblüte. die nimmt die Tour voll mit. Die Tour folgt allerdings auf dem Hinweg nach Wachenheim nicht durchgehend eine Markierung. Daher muß man nach Navi fahren. Auf dem Rückweg bin ich etwas anders gefahren, da ich nicht entlang der Straße fahren wollte.

    Schöne Tour mit vielen Aussichtspunkten in die Rheinebene. Ich halte die Wege für weniger anspruchsvoll als in Etappe 4: die Steigungen sind sanfter, die Wege eher breiter. Auch hier wieder der faszinierende Wechsel von typisch mitteleuropäischem Mischwald auf den Nordseiten der Bergrücken im Unterschied zu einem fast mediterranen Wald auf den südlichen Hängen. Zwischendurch tolle Moos bewachsene Felsformationen entlang des Weges.

    Ansprechend und schön! Anstiege auf Wurzelpfaden und durch die Anstiegslänge auch nicht zu schwer, beeindruckend das Felsenmeer, Hammeraussicht von der Kalmit, dafür kurzer, knackiger Abstieg aber auf breiten Wegen. Laufrichtung wie angegeben empfehlenswert. Viele Einkehrmöglichkeiten!
