Valley Road Neuleiningen–Höningen

Highlight • Trail

You start from Neuleiningen with a very gentle slope of an average of 2% to Lindemannsruhe. The first section leads through the valley along the Eckbach and, in my opinion, is relatively boring to drive, as this section to Altleiningen is very industrial. Only from Altleiningen does the road meander below the castle on a narrow road through the village, creating a feeling of seclusion and tranquility. In the center of the village behind the Protestant church, the path turns left with a short steep incline in the direction of Höningen. If you have done this you get a very good view of the valley of the Höniger Bach with its meadows and fields. After leaving the Höningen monastery, which is only a ruin, and the village, the narrow road climbs gently up to 488m above sea level. NN. Very nice, winding section with little traffic. Especially at dusk, when rays of sunshine fall through the mixed forest here and there, the Palatinate Forest with its red sandstone cliffs shows itself from its most beautiful side. If you have made it to Lindemannsruhe, you only go downhill to Leistadt, from where you have a beautiful view of the Rhine plain.

Höningen Augustinian Monastery (ruins)

Highlight • Historical Site

The monastery Höningen was founded in 1120 by Count Emich II of Leiningen and occupied with Augustinian canons. For many centuries, the abbey church of the monastery was hiding the remains of the Leiningen family of counts. The existence of the monastery was extinguished in January 1569 during the Reformation. Philipp von Leiningen appointed the first Lutheran pastor. Two months later, a devastating fire broke out in the monastery. All buildings including the church were destroyed. Philipp let the buildings partially rebuild and founded a "Latin School", the forerunner of today's "Leininger Gymnasium" in Grünstadt. In the "Thirty Years War" the monastery was destroyed again. Only a few remnants, such as the west gable of the abbey church, are reminiscent of the church and the monastery.
