Circular route through forest and vineyard: Weisenheim am Berg - "Wine, Forest, Ungeheuer"

The starting point of our hike is the village square on the main street in Weisenheim am Berg. You pass the Catholic church and then turn right into Bobenheimer Street. You leave the village to the left and after the last house turn left and take the next path to the right to Bobenheim am Berg. You reach Leininger Street in Bobenheim via Diebspfad. Here you go right and then turn left into Friedhofstraße (a few steps further down Leininger Street you can make a detour to the winemaker's fountain and the bakehouse). You go across Friedhofstraße and continue straight over the mountain path through Bobenheim, turn left after the playground and then immediately leave again to the right via the path "Am Krummbach" to the north out of the village and reach the Krummbach parking lot.
From here follow a well-maintained forest path marked with a white-red bar and finally reach the natural monument Ungeheuersee with a place to eat in the PWV hut (opening hours: see tip). You walk around the lake and then follow the sign "Green Cross" to the village entrance of Weisenheim am Berg. You walk the Sommerbachweg through the green area to Plauser Street, then left and then right into Karl-Gayer Street. You reach Leistadter Street with many places to eat. To the left it goes back to the starting point at the village square.

In the vineyards, the route runs mainly on unpaved farm tracks. Please give priority to agricultural traffic. The paths can be dirty due to agricultural use.
In the forest, the path runs mostly on unpaved forest ground. Watch out for roots, rocks, and stones so you do not lose your footing.
After rainy days and especially in spring, autumn, and winter the paths can be wet and slippery.
