It is a joint project that is currently being implemented at the foot of the Donnersberg. An approximately 4.5 kilometer long cycle path is currently being extended between the Langental valley near Imsbach and the local community of Steinbach. This is an important gap closure not only within the cycle path network of the municipality of Winnweiler, but in future it should also be possible to cycle on cycle paths from Kaiserslautern to Worms. This section of road along the highest mountain in the Palatinate is also of great importance in this respect.
However, the cycle path is also special in several respects: thanks to funding from the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport's "Town and Country" funding program, the local communities of Börrstadt, Imsbach and Steinbach - through whose districts the cycle path runs - and the municipality of Winnweiler can pull together.
Above all, its location makes the cycle path special - past a treading pool, two ponds, streams, a former hermit's hermitage or through a valley with a farm settlement. Last but not least, the cycle path connects two of the region's tourist highlights: the Imsbach Mining Adventure World and the Celtic village of Steinbach. The garden railroad in Börrstadt is another attraction that can be reached with a short detour. The new cycle path will therefore certainly also be a wonderful excursion destination for families in the future, who can explore several sights along a manageable route.
The three local communities involved and the association municipality are pulling together not only for the construction, but also for the inauguration and are organizing an "Adventure Cycling on the Donnersberg" on Sunday, 25 May from 11 am to 5 pm - with food and drink offers along the route, a stage programme and, of course, open tourism facilities that would like to give guests an insight on this day. Details of the program will be published shortly.
The construction and maintenance of the cycle path was supported by the Rhineland-Palatinate State Forestry Department.
