Beautiful circular route in the Bliesgau biosphere reserve.
Start at the car park right next to St. Maria church. The "Alschbach Kirche" bus stop is nearby, so it is possible to travel here by public transport. The route leads through shady woodland, along the Mariengrotte, to the Lindenfels estate and through the Rhododendron Park. At the right time of year, the marvellous rhododendron blossom can be admired here. It is possible to stop for a bite to eat at the Gut Lindenfels forest café.
It is recommended to take care on the steps in the forest - in wet weather they can be particularly slippery due to fallen leaves.
Highlights:
- Rhododendron Park
- Lindenfels Estate
