The two Esthal residents Helmut Weitzel and Albert Kuhn from the Pfälzerwald-Verein Esthal have cleaned and restored the old Finter – Breitenbach – spring in Rumpelsloch, thus making it a pretty little gem. Above the outlet, they have erected a name stone. The new bench next to the spring will give the hiker the opportunity to rest again before the steep ascent towards Schwarzsohl.

The path goes uphill towards Ungeheuer See and downhill through the vineyards towards Weisenheim am Berg or Leistadt. The sandy path is very beautiful in summer. Watch out for wild boars crossing the path from time to time.

Beautiful, quiet route along the Höninger valley.......starting at the Höninger forest car park, from where there are many hiking/biking opportunities (Lindemannsruhe, Ungeheuersee and much more).

Nice rest area on the way to Lambertskreuz. After a long climb you can take a break here, recharge your batteries and enjoy the forest.
