Safety information
In light of recent events:Coronavirus Guide from the German Hiking Association
In autumn in particular, it is important to remember that leaves lying on the ground can hide bumps, roots, stones and holes in the path. Trees can topple and branches can fall down after thunderstorms and rainstorms. Natural paths can become muddy and slippery, especially in poor weather conditions. Not all rocks and precipices are secured with ropes or railings. You need to be sure-footed in certain areas. Damage to paths of this kind is to be expected on hikes. If you feel that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, please avoid them.
NOTE:
We endeavour to announce all closures due to forest work or hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, sometimes there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a road closure or diversion, please follow the instructions for your own safety.
Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
An educational trail (4) brings us along the crystal clear, rippling river to the idyllic Hilschweiher lake (5) and waterfall. Another ascent through the shady forest brings us past the Rietburg chair lift to Villa Ludwigshöhe (6), the former summer residence of King Louis I of Bavaria. Above the sun-drenched vineyards we reach the Virgin Mary grotto (7), built by Weyher in 1904, and continue on to the Buschmühle restaurant in the Modenbach Valley. The ascent to the St Anna hikers' hut (PWV) (8) begins here on easy forest paths. The hut is open on Wednesdays and weekends for hungry and thirsty hikers. Near the hut, the St Anna Chapel sits on an offshoot of the Teufelsberg mountain and looks over Burrweiler. The view from the chapel is just as impressive as its location. A crossroads brings us down to the wine-producing village of Burrweiler, the final destination of today's hike.
