Hiking

Spectacular rocks, deep valleys and above all: forest, as far as the eye can see! This is what you can expect to see on the 140-kilometer-long Palatinate Forest Trail, the only long-distance hiking trail in Germany, which starts at an ICE train station and also takes in a bit of France.

Spectacular views await the hiker over the 130 kilometers between Bad Bergzabern, Fischbach bei Dahn and Kaiserslautern. Enjoy the Palatine Forest , which is distinguished by the UNESCO as a biosphere reservation - the largest contiguous forest in Germany.

Walk a network of trails totaling 60 km on a discovery tour. At over 50 stations, you'll encounter mysterious legacies left by the people of yesteryear.

The motto "Movement for all" is behind the creation of the low-barrier trails. Those who are on the road with a wheelchair, walker or stroller will find low-barrier routes in the forest. On well-signposted paths, it is easier to start walking, hiking, Nordic walking, rolling or even running.

This 3-hour route takes you south of Kaiserslautern, past numerous natural and cultural sights (e.g. Blitzeichen, Dreieckstein or Jungfernstein)

Kaiserslautern is situated at the edge of the Palatinate Forest and is thus an Eldorado for all hikers. Here is a brief overview of some of the most beautiful trails.
