Long-distance hikes in Kusel

The nature reserve "Mittagsfels" with its unusual flora (for example,   the pasque flower) and its fantastic panoramic views overlooks the Steinalptal near   Niederalben. Just to be up here is well worth doing the 2nd stage of the   Veldenz-Wanderweg.  Another highlight of this tour is a visit to the historic oil mill of St. Julian, a true gem in the history of handicrafts – visits by appointment.

A 46 km long hiking trail in the heart of the Palatinate Highlands, which is very well suited as a single or multi-day tour.  From Kusel parking 1,5 km – Trail Marking: White "R" on a yellow background = feeder path to Winter helle. From Winterhelle 38.3 km – Trail Marking: White "R" on a blue background - main trail with access to the "Pfälzer Höhenweg".

The last stage of the Pfälzer Höhenweg trail leads from Lauterecken via Lohnweiler through the shady forests of the Königsberg massif to Wolfstein. The 21km route includes the romantic castle ruins at Altwolfstein and Neuwolfstein.

The 2nd stage ( 11.8 km in length)   of this 46 km long quality hiking trail in the heart of the Palatinate Highlands.  

The trail continues from Ausbacherhof   towards   Reipoltskirchen, with its   former moated castle, which after its renovation by the County of Kusel, has been turned into a real gem. The flooded moat and the geometrically laid out gardens offer a beautiful picture.  Around the Wasserburg, the trail leads along a sculpture trail, which has been newly created in recent years.  After many fantastic views we reach the village of Veldenz-Cronenberg and continue through the valley of Sulzbach up to the forest tavern "Am Weiher" (Pfälzerwald-Verein Lauterecken). The opening times are from 9 – 18 on Sundays and public holidays   from Good Friday until October and by appointment. The end of the Veldenz-Wanderweg is the Veldenzer Schloss in Lauterecken. Here in the town are a number of lovingly-restored old houses which now enliven the atmosphere of the town.  

The Pfälzer Höhenweg trail offers all kinds of variety, not just because the 112km long trail goes higher than any other trail in the Palatinate.
