Rockenhausen Market Square and Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

So it doesn't really rock here. A tranquil marketplace with a church and sculptures. There is a small café for a break.

Paved cycle path near Rockenhausen

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice bike path, but when I was there, the forest section behind Rockenhausen was unfortunately closed due to construction work and the designated diversion was very steep and with coarse gravel - not suitable for my heavy ebike
