In the fight for the royal crown against Albrecht of Austria, he lost his life at the Battle of Hasenbühl near Göllheim on 2 July 1298. The battle put an end to the conflict over the throne and was the last knight's battle on German soil. Adolf of Nassau was initially buried at Rosenthal Abbey before he was put in his final resting place at Speyer Cathedral.

The circular trail is marked with a stylised yellow Königskreuzkapelle (King's Cross Chapel) on a blue background and has 344 metres of ascent and descent.

Safety information

The following generally applies:

In autumn in particular, it is important to remember that leaves lying on the ground can hide bumps, roots, stones and holes in the path. Trees can topple and branches can fall down after thunderstorms and rainstorms. Natural paths can become muddy and slippery, especially in poor weather conditions. Not all rocks and precipices are secured with ropes or railings. You need to be sure-footed in certain areas. Damage to paths of this kind is to be expected on hikes. If you feel that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, please avoid them.

NOTE:

We endeavour to announce all closures due to forest work or hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, sometimes there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a road closure or diversion, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

Turn-by-turn directions

The start of the Quality Trail is Königskreuz (King's Cross) in Göllheim. It is said to mark the site where Adolf of Nassau lost his life during the battle against Albrecht of Habsburg. The path continues past the Jewish cemetery of Göllheim, the Ludwigshalle and the Kriegsberghütte of the Palatinate Forest Club (which is open on Sundays).

It goes over the road and straight ahead at junctions. At the end of the path, we turn right ("Hohebirk") and keep following the forest path, which makes a left turn. At the crossroads in front of a building, go down the path on the right. We turn right onto the road and left to the Arleshof.

The tour continues to Rosenthal Abbey, which was a Cistercian convent dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was endowed in 1241. In 1572, the last nun gave up her duties.

The abbey ruins are open on Sundays from April to October from 1 to 6 p.m. or by appointment.

In the village, go straight towards Göllheimer Häuschen. Then cross the road and turn right shortly after the building towards Dreisen. Afterwards it goes back to Göllheim.

In the village, turn right onto Gutenbergstraße and left onto Königskreuzstraße to Königskreuz.

It is the perfect hiking trail for those who love history, beautiful views and the tranquillity of the forest!
