Certified premium hiking trail near Frankelbach, Rhineland-Palatinate
This premium hiking trail is a real insider tip. It starts at the Olsbrücken train station, the destination is the Sulzbachtaler train station (or vice versa, this route can easily be walked in both directions). When you reach the end point, you take the train to turn the route into a circular route.
On the path, which owes its name to the old Roman quarry "Teufelstein", you walk through picturesque valleys, quarries and forests, past many geological highlights. You also have wonderful views of the Palatinate Forest. You should definitely have sturdy shoes with you, as there are some steep climbs and descents. Fans of 1. FC Kaiserslautern will be happy about the waymarking: the red devil's logo shows hikers the way here.
