Maikammer - EXPO circular route

The start and finish of the EXPO circular route Maikammer is at the parking deck, Johannes-Damm-Str.

From here, the path leads northwards via Frantzplatz, Marktstraße, and Kirchgasse to Weinstraße Nord. A highlight along the way is the Catholic Church "St. Cosmas and Damian." It is a spacious baroque hall structure from the years 1756/57 and is located at a site where already in late Roman times a notable building stood.

After crossing Weinstraße Nord, the circular route continues through Rebengasse, at the end of which it turns right into the street "Im Kirchenstück," here at the end turn left and then continue straight on along Diedesfelder Straße. This leads out of Maikammer to the roundabout.

Here, the path continues along the L 512 (German Wine Route) towards Diedesfeld. After about 200 m, it turns left onto a field path. Here there is again a beautiful view of the Palatinate Forest and Hambach Castle.

It continues about 1 km straight ahead almost to the edge of the forest, at a small pond the path then turns left and follows the German Wine Route hiking trail southwards to the L 515 (Kalmithöhenstraße).

After crossing the street, the path continues a good 100 m further south before turning left and continuing via Kapellenweg and the wine educational trail. Shortly before the first houses of Maikammer appear, the circular route turns right. At the end, it goes a short distance left again and then immediately right into Mühlstraße. After about 500 m, the path reaches St. Martiner Straße (K 32) and then continues through Mühlweg to Kropsbach. On the left lies BG RCI. This is circled, and the path continues left along the brook to the southern bypass. From here, it goes through Gartenstraße, Weinstraße Süd, and Immengartenstraße back to the starting point at the parking deck.

 

Take the BAB 65 exit Edenkoben-Maikammer; continue on L 516 towards Maikammer. Then follow the signs towards the center and there follow the signs to "Rathaus" (town hall). The starting point at the parking deck on Johannes-Damm-Straße is located directly next to the town hall.

ATTENTION! – Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature

Always behave predictably, friendly, and considerately towards everyone you meet on the way. Respect nature, do not destroy plants, and always stay on the paths. Try to avoid excessive noise and leave the forest before dusk. Remember a rubbish bag for on the go and take your litter back home with you. Please keep your dog on a leash at all times. Other visitors and animals will thank you. For your own safety, observe all path closures, even on weekends. Park only in designated parking spaces. Leave room for emergency vehicles and agricultural machinery. Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic, please.
