    Im Ort geht eine schmale Straße mit echten Haarnadelkurven hoch zum Waldparkplatz. Dann schlängelt sich ein etwas breiterer Pfad ganz gemächlich zum Rastplatz am Ritterstein Nr. 42. Überdachte Sitzbank. Auf Wagenbreitem Weg geht es wieder runter zum Parkplatz. Am Fuß vom Schletterberg und vorm Wächtersein stehen in der Kurve 2 Sitzbänke mit herrlicher Aussicht in den Wasgau (Wasgaublick), Pfälzer Waldhügel und rechts rüber auf die Burg Trifels. Nicht bei schönem Wetter am Wochenende, da steppt hier der Bär. Vom Waldparkplatz aus gibt es noch einige andere Wege zum verlängern.

    Ein großartige Tour, den Cramerweg zu laufen, ist ein Genuss, die beiden Burgen, und jede mit Schänke, runden den Rundwanderweg ab.

    Was für ein interessante Runde an der südlichen Weinstraße. Es geht über Felder, Wiesen und Wälder, durch zwei urige Dörfer, vorbei an diversen Felsformationen und Aussichtspunkten. Wer sich nicht davor scheut, über teils längere Wirtschaftsweg-Passagen zu laufen, der hat hier auf jeden Fall seinen Spaß. Garniert wird das Ganze mit einigen knackigen Anstiegen im Single-Trail-Style, sehr geil. 👍 Die Strecke ist eigentlich durchgängig beschildert. Leider wurden an zwei Wegkreuzungen keine Wegmarkierungen gefunden, Rettung hier war die GPX-Route. Macht aber nix, weil die detaillierte Wegbeschreibung auf dieser Seite, den richtigen Weg weißt. Würde gerne 4,5 Punkte geben, funktioniert aber nicht.... 🙂
