ビエンヴァルトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Unfortunately, the path on the German side is not worthy of being a cycle path.

The peace of the forest, the birds and the insects, the reflections of the trees in the water look like living watercolors. Stopping and enjoying is a must for lovers of nature. You have to enjoy a gift like this, it has a lasting effect. I call it FOREST BATHING. Anyone who has the patience to watch a dancing dragonfly has won.

This is the shelter at the forester's house near the Salmbacher Passage, which is a great way to get to France.

See beautiful section of the trail. Although the water looks brackish in places, it does not smell

This neat shelter, which is also in the shade of a tree, is located directly on the road and still offers a very good view of the beautiful landscape and/or protection from the weather.

Shortly after the Bienwald Mill on the left side there is a small single trail through the middle of the forest. It is a little overgrown but rideable. It was definitely fun 😊

This oak was most likely "planted during the Thirty Years' War, which ravaged Germany from 1618 to 1648". Source (quoted verbatim): Information board on site

A rest area on the border with a mill and weir with fish ladder on the Lauterlinie. For me it is the outstanding sight here far and wide. Text of the small information board: “The Bienwaldmühle, first mentioned in a document in 1152, was owned by the Bishopric of Speyer for centuries. This mill location, one of the very first in the Palatinate, was assigned to the Weißenburg Monastery. In 1618 the mill became private property. The property consisted of a grain mill, oil mill, sawmill and hemp grater. During the War of the Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714), the Bienwaldmühle was part of the “Lauter Line” established by Marshal de Villars as a fortified base. A late Baroque mansard building was built here in the middle of the 18th century. In 1942 the damaged building was rebuilt in the old style. The first water turbine was installed in 1912. The existing grinding aisles were replaced by roller mills. The last of three original Greek-designed water wheels remained until 1930. The facilities of the grain mill and the hydroelectric power plant have been adapted and modernized to meet technical requirements in recent years. The Wieslauter still powers the rye and wheat mill to this day. Hydropower also generates electricity for the local grid. The Bienwaldmühle has been owned by the Rieger family for generations.
