    Ich bin begeistert! Den Pfälzer Weinsteig bin ich vom 03. bis 08.06.2023 gegangen und war überwältigt. Einen so hohen Anteil an Pfaden und naturbelassenen Wegen habe ich bislang noch auf keiner meiner absolvierten Wanderungen in Deutschland erleben dürfen. Dazu dieser wunderbare Wald, Laubwald, Mischwald und dann wieder Kiefernwald, einfach wunderbar. Viele Kastanienbäume. Gut, es gibt auch Streckenabschnitte auf befestigen Waldwegen und tatsächlich auch mal Asphaltstrecken. Das ist bei so einer Weglänge unvermeidbar, hält sich aber in Grenzen. Immer wieder Ausblicke in die Rheinebene. Und spektakuläre Ausblicke wie z. B. vom Orensfels. Burgen über Burgen. Die Berge die zu erklimmen sind, haben sicher keine nennenswerte Höhe. Und doch sind die Ausblicke, beispielhaft vom Kalmit, grandios. Es geht viel hinauf und hinab. Mal moderat, mal etwas steiler. Und so kommt man auch mit nicht so hohen Bergen am Ende des Tages auf eine respektable Zahl an Höhenmetern. Die man dann auch immer wieder bergab laufen muss (arme Knie!). Der Pfälzer Weinsteig hat den Westweg (Schwarzwald), meine bisherige Nr. 1, mit Leichtigkeit auf Platz 2 in meiner persönlichen Wertung der bislang in Deutschland gewanderten Wege verdrängt.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour mit Einkehr in der Klosterschänke in Heringen. beides sehr zu empfehlen. Auch einen Besuch wert ist der Dorfladen dort. Einziges Manko, die schlechte Wegmarkierung, die unbedingt mal neu überpinselt bzw. freigeschnitten werden sollte.
