Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route

At McDonald’s on the corner of Am Koehlwäldchen and Merkurstraße, the Landstuhl City Route branches off from the main Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route. The City Route continues straight ahead along Untere Eisenbahnstraße where, just before the railway line, it branches off to the left onto a shared footpath and cycle trail to the train station. The route continues through the railway underpass as far as Bahnstraße. Turning left, the route continues 50 metres along Bahnstraße and then turns right into Vordere Imser Straße and continues straight ahead to the next crossroads. Here the cycle path branches off to the left into Wiesenstraße, which it follows for about 100 metres to Gartenstraße. It continues to the right past the Stadthalle Landstuhl civic hall until it reaches Kaiserstraße. It then turns left at the traffic lights into Ludwigstraße. The route continues straight on past the Alte Kapelle church and alongside the historic old town, which is home to the Villa Benzino and the Alter Markt market. At the corner of Ludwigstraße, Hauptstraße and Weiherstraße, the route crosses Hauptstraße and continues straight ahead into Schloßstraße. After just under 200 metres, the cycle path turns sharply left into Burgweg. The route leads steeply uphill to the main landmark in the Sickingen town of Landstuhl, Nanstein Castle. The route continues uphill again along Burgweg into Landstuhl’s Melkerei district. The route continues straight through the residential area on Auf der Pick and Pont-à-Mousson-Ring until it reaches the outskirts of the town. It then continues straight ahead along a good forest track until it reaches the Forsthaus Kahlenberg lodge, where the City Route rejoins the main Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route.

The main Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route branches off to the left at McDonald’s into Merkurstraße, which it follows to Daimlerstraße. Turning left, the cycle path continues along Daimlerstraße to Am Harzofen. It continues straight ahead past Silbersee lake until it reaches the outskirts of Kindsbach. At the end of Mühlstraße, the Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route turns right into Eisenbahnstraße, crosses under the railway line and continues straight ahead to the corner of Eisenbahnstraße and Hirtenpfad. Here the route first branches off to the left into Hirtenpfad and then after around 200 metres turns right into Marktstraße and follows it as far as the traffic lights. It then turns right and continues to the next traffic lights on Kaiserstraße. Here the cycle route turns left into Hörnchenstraße and follows it until the turn-off for the agricultural road. The agricultural road leads uphill to the Forsthaus Kahlenberg lodge, where the Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route rejoins the City Route. The route continues along good, part-asphalt forest tracks to the sports field in the municipality of Bann. It continues straight on for about 300 metres along Am Sportplatz before turning left onto an agricultural road to the outskirts of Bann. The cycle route makes its way along Waldstraße as far as the roundabout on Hauptstraße. Take a left onto Hauptstraße and continue for 200 metres. At the junction with Goethestraße, turn right and then immediately left into Schillerstraße.

The Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route heads steeply up Schillerstraße onto Sickingen Heights. Past the green waste collection point, turn left onto the K60 and continue to the junction with the K61. Here the Sickinger Mühlen Cycle Route picks up the roadside cycle path along the K60 and follows it to the outskirts of Weselberg.
