Small ruin with a great view. You can even climb here. However, the tours are crisp.

Trail Between Wegelnburg and Hohenbourg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Half of the route in Germany and half in France. And yet the same beauty. Mostly pleasant to run with a moderate gradient.

The highest castle in the Palatinate, at 571 meters above sea level, is located right on the border with Alsace in France. It impresses with a very well-preserved upper castle and, due to its height, offers a perfect panorama over the gently rolling hills of the Wasgau.

Be in a great mood going downhill. Great trail with a great surface, but you also have to concentrate.

Fleckenstein from Gimbelhof

Highlight • Rest Area

A restaurant, a beer garden, a cafe, cows in the pasture, a huge playground. The ideal destination. Unfortunately closed due to Corona (end of 2020).
