Langmühlentour

Langmühlentour (Südwestpfalz)

Through the middle of the southwest Palatinate Forest with refreshment stops in several Palatinate Forest huts located directly on the route. Flowing trails and the gypsy rock characterize this tour.

Description

We set off above the small, tranquil village of Langmühle. At first, the route climbs gently upwards on a wide path, ideal for getting used to the terrain. Then we take a sharp right onto a steep ramp and, after a short, steep climb, turn left onto a trail. At the bottom, past the refuge, we continue riding on a wide path and then on a side road before turning left again into the forest. After the sports field, there is another trail descent before riding along a wide path to the "Drei Buchen" forest house. Here you can stop for a bite to eat, and the Palatinate delicacies are not to be missed. Freshly fortified, after a short ride on a forest road, turn right onto a long, flowing trail to the village of Glashütte. After crossing the main road, a trail section follows before we ride uphill again for a long time with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. After this ascent, we enter a serpentine trail. The hairpin bends are quite easy, the radius is rather wide and so we reach a wide path in a fun way, which we then follow further downhill.

The next ascent takes us to the "Hohe List" hut, where we can also stop for a bite to eat. Afterwards, we bike down a fast descent on a forest road. The following ascent takes us directly past the gypsy rock. A short stop is worthwhile, the bizarre rock formation provides a wonderful backdrop for a photo. We then take the next descent to a side road, which we follow before turning left again into the forest. After this little detour, we come back to the familiar side road, the last turn-off to the right leads us first onto an uphill trail and then down a flowing descent. Now we cycle along the country road again and ride through the following terrain for the last time before returning to the starting point.
