Pfälzer Weinsteig Stage 10 Klingenmünster - Bad Bergzabern

We start at the monastery in Klingenmünster and walk through a park along the Klingbach before ascending through sunny vineyards to reach the village of Gleiszellen. We stroll leisurely through the alleys of the pretty village. Shortly past the Hatzelberg fountain, we enter the forest and hike along the slopes of Hatzelberg and Röhlberg to the crossroads Am Seicheneck. Then we descend in the shade of the trees into a small valley, which we follow downhill into a larger valley. A comfortable path along the valley floor takes us past a tennis court (5) to the beautiful historic half-timbered building of the Wappenschmiede restaurant in Pleisweiler, where we can refresh ourselves. We leave the village behind and continue hiking through scenic vineyards, passing a shelter surrounded by vines, onto the spa town of Bad Bergzabern. Here, the winding old town invites for a stroll, and idyllic parks as well as the Südpfalz-Therme invite you to relax. The magnificent Bad Bergzabern castle and the splendid Renaissance building of the gasthaus "Zum Engel" are also worth a visit.

For our hiking routes, we recommend the following standard equipment:

Hiking on natural paths and trails - Especially in autumn, pay attention to the fact that leaves lying on the ground can conceal uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off afterward. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, there can be muddy and slippery sections on natural paths. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You have to expect such path impairments when hiking. If you think certain sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them. Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the premium hiking trails, we recommend always carrying an appropriate hiking map for safety reasons, so that in case of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly reach a safe area. Path closures and detours must be strictly observed.

Danger situations - Should an emergency occur, quick help is needed. And although cell phones can send GPS signals, at classical rescue points it is often fastest. These are located at places easily accessible to rescue vehicles. Remember the points with green signs and a white cross. In case of emergency, return there and give the number on the sign to your emergency call. This way, rescue forces will know where to find you.
