The forest floor softly beneath your feet, the sun peeking again and again through the canopy of trees, and close by, a woodpecker keeping time to the rhythm of your footsteps. Abruptly the forest throws open its curtains on the view of the Rhine plain with its vineyards and villages, where delicious refreshment awaits you. The long-distance hiking trail with the label »Pfälzer Weinsteig« promises to be a delight for all the senses. Extending over more than 170 kilometers, this, the longest of the three Palatinate long-distance hiking trails, offers a lot of opportunity to enjoy the best of the forests and vineyards.
