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.

The Tiefenthaler Höfchen is an ideal break stop in a side street. The operators are very welcoming and the food is awesome. Everything is very lovingly designed and invites you to linger longer. Definitely will be back.

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

Beautiful summer weather with just under 25 degrees. Quite a lot of traffic on the cycle paths, I'm not used to that. But it's nice when the infrastructure is used. The only downside to the tour is the stretch between Würzweiler and Rockenhausen, where people cycle quite quickly (a good 3 km).
