On the walk around Rumbach is the legendary Christkindelsfelsen with its spacious platform. Here you have a magnificent view of Rumbach and the Dahner Felsenland. Following the trail markings, you reach the Langentalblick rest area above the trail, where you can take a short break.Back on the panoramic path along the Sesselberg, views of the village of Rumbach and the idyllic Langental valley become visible again and again. From the edge of the forest, the path now leads back across open fields to the starting point. A visit to the Christuskirche church with its impressive old frescoes is always worthwhile.

Safety information
Safety instructionsDespite the well-signposted trail markers along the premium hiking trails, we recommend for security reasons to always have an appropriate hiking map so that, for example when a storm occurs, you can quickly either find shelter or get out of the woods.
Especially in the autumn it is also important to remember that leaves lying on the ground can conceal irregularities, such as roots, rocks or holes in the path. Following storms, trees can have been uprooted or have branches hanging down. Such path impairments have to be expected when using such trails. Especially in adverse weather conditions, it may occur that the trails and paths turn into muddy and slippery passages. Path impairments of this kind have to be expected when you go out for a hike. Not all rocks or slopes are secured with ropes or railings and sure footedness is required. Should you be of the opinion that these are not accessible to you then you should try and get around them.
NOTICE:
We endeavour to announce all closures caused by forest works, hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you encounter closures or diversions on site, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Cross the village road and pass the fountain square in the upper village, where the Swiss fountain commemorates the Swiss immigrants who brought the almost extinct village back to life after the 30 Years' War.
Now the route continues along the former pioneer road to the four tunnels that were built by German pioneers around 1939 and are easily hidden along the way. Information boards at the entrances to the galleries provide detailed background information. Towards the end of the Second World War, people from the village used the tunnels as places of refuge. Today they serve as winter quarters for bats, hedgehogs and other animals.
The hike around Rumbach continues at a leisurely pace on the Panorama Trail to the next stop, the Christkindelsfelsen. A metal ladder takes you to the secured platform from where you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of Rumbach and the Jüngstberg. If you take a closer look at this lookout rock, you can discover delightful pre-Christmas surprises.
The trail marking "white eye on orange background" now leads hikers to the Langentalblick rest area. Now you only have to take a few more steps up the hill to reach the beautiful resting place above the path.
Every now and then, benches along the path invite you to pause for a moment and let your gaze wander into the distance.
The forest trail leads through mixed forest in a wide curve along the Hinterer and Vorderer Sesselberg. Again and again, views of the tranquil half-timbered village of Rumbach in the idyllic Langental valley become visible. From the edge of the forest, the premium walking trail leads us across open fields back to the starting point at the Christuskirche. Here there is still some time to take a look inside one of the oldest churches in the Palatinate. In the choir room of the church (formerly St. Gangolf's Church), impressive frescoes from the Middle Ages were found and uncovered during renovation work.
