The "first" Sandhasenweg leads you first to the north, then later in a westerly direction, past orchards and through vineyards. Combined with wonderful views, it goes along the "Am Mühlweg" and "Am Gänsborn" districts back towards the village and the starting point. The route runs counter-clockwise.

Safety information

The route often runs along so-called farm tracks. These are used for agricultural purposes and are used by tractors and harvesters all year round. We would like to point out that the use of the paths is at your own risk and ask for mutual consideration in the interest of all. The farm tracks may be soiled by agricultural traffic. After rainy days and especially in winter, the paths can be wet and slippery.One-time crossing of the state road L454 (Weisenheim am Sand/Großkarlbach) without crossing aid, fast moving cars are to be expected.
