Route
The long-distance hiking trail begins in Homburg, Saarland, at the Schlossberg caves on the Schlossberg. Behind Kirrberg it crosses the border to the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate and initially runs through the hill country of the Westrich plateau ; Winterbach and Höheinöd , among others, are affected. At Waldfischbach it reaches the Palatinate Forest , where it is led over the Hundsweihersägemühle and through the Schwarzbachtal to Johanniskreuz . From there it goes along the Speyerbach via Elmstein and Erfenstein to Lambrecht and finally up to the Pfälzerwald club hut Lambertskreuz . The last section of the route within the Palatinate Forest leads over the Hardenburg , Altleiningen and Eisenberg into the North Palatinate Bergland . Here the hiking trail touches the communities of Weitersweiler , Marnheim , Kirchheimbolanden , Bischheim and Ilbesheim . It then reaches Rheinhessen and here first of all Freimersheim and Alzey . From there it goes along the Selz to Framersheim and Gau-Odernheim on the Petersberg ; After crossing it, the route runs through the local community of Bechtolsheim back to Selz, which you follow to Friesenheim . From Friesenheim, the long-distance hiking trail to Oppenheim am Rhein uses the Valtinche cycle path . From Oppenheim it leads up the Rhine on the Rheinterrassenweg via Ludwigshöhe , Guntersblum and Alsheim . At the Alsheim train station, the Odenwaldklub takes over responsibility from the Palatinate Forest Association. From Alsheim the path leads through the sand and past the Old Rhine Adventure Path to Eich and then to the Rhine .
He crosses this at Gernsheim , for which a ferry is used. You have now reached the state of Hesse . As 'main hiking trail 14' it first runs through the Rhine valley to Bickenbach and crosses the northern Odenwald from the Seeheim district .
