April 18, 2026,Kandel (Pfalz): Vom Naturfreundehaus Bienwald auf dem "Bienwald-Brunnenweg" durchs leuchtende Frühlingsgrün

Today, E. and I walked a beautiful, large loop in the bright green glowing Bienwald between Kandel, Minfeld, and Büchelberg at summery warm temperatures.

Here is the template for it (however, we were going COUNTER-CLOCKWISE):

What we didn't like so much:

> several forest highways from NFH Kandel to Gutenbrunnen

The Bienwaldbrunnenweg is a new circular route in the Bienwald near Kandel.
Nice quiet tour with hardly any vertical meters! Partly great single trails and very well signposted

In the first part, we walked along beautiful paths through the Bienwald forest. We passed waterways and ponds, crossing small ditches every now and then. We even wandered through a …

This path has no elevation gain. It was still beautiful 🤸🥾💚⛲

The hiking boots should be waterproof 😃

October 2, 2022,PWV on Tour, auf dem Brunnenweg im Bienwald

Just in time for the start of the hike, it began to rain at the Naturfreundehaus Kandel car park. We were 14 intrepid hikers who walked the whole tour. Highlights were two beautiful fountains, an obelisk, small moats and also very nice paths. At the Steigner Hütte we had a dry spot for our break. We didn't have to wait …

January 3, 2023,Wörth am Rhein: Bienwald, Neugraben, Schmerbach, Candidus-Gedenkstätte

The Bienwald is always worth a tour in winter. The Bienwald is associated with the many wide forest paths that abound here. But there are also beautiful paths, and this hike tries to integrate some beautiful path parts, e.g. on the Neugraben. Unfortunately, the komoot map is not entirely up-to-date, so that the path at Neugraben, for example, is not …
