Bruchmühlbach-Miesau - Sagenhafter Waldpfad

The main route passes Vogelbach leading past lush pastures and meadows and reaches the resting place at the Kneipp facility "Vogelquelle". Time for a refreshing drink or a rest in the shade of deciduous trees.

After a moderate uphill   climb, the trail then leads steeply uphill to the Sickinger Höhe. The forest scenery and the view down to the villages in the valley soon lets you forget the physical exertion.

Green sloping meadows and fields are symbolic   of the agricultural character of these hillside villages. 

Those of you who would like to visit the village of   Lambsborn, should now follow the next feeder path. Here you have the opportunity to eat and drink and also   visit the local museum "Wies frieherwor" on the Kartoffelhof Gortner (T. 06372 7934) as well as tasting a sample of the local potato schnapps on offer. The feeder path then leads back 1.6 km to the main route.

Following this wide-open landscape, the trail soon reaches the edge of the forest. After a short time there is, once again, the possibility of shortening the tour via the lookout point "Hoher Fels" and back to the starting point.

Through the Palatinate Forest, the main path now leads through the forest, winding its way up to the wildly romantic “Elendsklamm”. The natural monument has been left to itself for decades. Another feeder path leads directly through the gorge to the “Tausendmühle”, a mill which was once driven by the   Frohnbach. A visit to the mill shop is well worth while (Thu-Sat, T. 06372 1438)

After passing through the “Elendsklamm” the trail wins again in height. Along an old paved "post road" it then leads to the stone quarry of   "Busche". A nice quiet corner that invites you not only to explore, but also provides a shady spot for a snack. After crossing the Belzmühltal, a feeder path leads to the   Fritz-Claus Hutte. 

The narrow trail then leads downwards, following the Mühlbach on the grounds of the Belzmühle. A sculpture trail and Kneipp facilities offer even more diversity. A short climb up through the fragrant forest then leads to the hunter’s clubhouse.

A little later we reach the bottom entry to the “Elendsklamm” where a short climb up the stairs is worth while! 

The “Sagenhafte Waldpfad” now leads past   the 400 year old mill “Tausendmühle” with its ancient   beer cellar.

A short time later we arrive at the starting point of our circular trail.
