Seltenbach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The stream is still fairly natural. The mixed forest is correspondingly varied here, which many animals also like! The railway line has now fallen into disrepair, and in some cases offers almost "lost places"!

Yesterday we went on the Leininger Panoramaweg. It was not expected that I would stay dry, but this is a path that I definitely did not want to walk in the blazing sun. There is hardly any shade on the entire route.
It started at the swimming pool in Hettenleidelheim, also known as Hettrum. There is a short section through …

The trail is long, varied, and largely well-signposted, as it overlaps with the Leiningen Panorama Trail. Narrow forest paths, small lakes surrounded by reeds, and field paths opening up the landscape with countless fantastic views, for example, of Eisenberg, Neuleiningen, Altleiningen, or the Donnersberg, make this trail a unique experience.

Today the Leininger Panoramaweg was on our program. Due to the weather from last weekend, we had to change the route slightly twice, because the paths were so full of 🌳 trees and branches that it was not possible to get through.

Nobody believes us that we were super lucky with the weather today ☀️ 😃 It only sleet for the last 10 minutes.
A very varied and exciting tour with wonderful views and many different types of landscape. We saw a few benches, even if half of us are no longer fit 😆

I'm in the area from time to time and this time it was my turn to do this great tour. I was inspired by someone from the MM FB group. 😊 I found the tour very varied. Sometimes forest, sometimes field, beautiful views, etc. You have to cross over and under the motorway once and also walk parallel to it …

Started early in the morning and drove to Hettenleidelheim. The market square is right on the main street, where you can park for free. The Leininger Panoramaweg also starts there. This path is easy to walk, it is well marked and offers numerous rest areas and benches from where you can explore the great surroundings. Not a path with absolutely …

After what I thought was a healed muscle strain in my calf, I looked for a tour nearby that I can shorten if in doubt.
I stumbled upon the Leininger Panoramaweg by accident - crazy that I didn't know about it... right around the corner.
Really nice, even if two passages had to be bypassed due to the snowfall last …
