링겐펠트 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Not far from Lochmühlsee, you cross the Druslach River over a long bridge. You can roll your bike down the steps on the side and push it back up at the end of the bridge.

Three of the 100 remaining boundary stones mark the border of the Lingenfeld district at this point. The tallest stone bears the year 1781. At that time, the land belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Speyer. The cross, flanked by the initial letter "D" (left) and a "C" to be added at the missing right corner, indicates the cathedral chapter and can also be seen on the shortest stone. The middle stone is unmarked. The drilled hole served as a tool for moving the heavy stone.

The idea of a grotto on the Druslachbach next to the hollow path on the Oberwaldbrückel with a figure of the Virgin Mary similar to traditional May altars came from August Jochem II and Jakob Simon in the early 1930s. This path to this grotto was a Sunday stroll for many Lingenfeld residents until the 1960s or was used for the obligatory May flower hike. During the war and post-war years, interest in the grotto waned and it fell into disrepair. In the early 1960s, the pensioner Albert Jochem and his helpers ensured that a small, stone-lined crypt with a figure of the Virgin Mary was built on the site of the former pre-war grotto. This invited many hikers to linger as always. Unfortunately, over time the grotto fell into disrepair again and the grotto of the Virgin Mary also disappeared. In 2005, Heinz and Gerdi Benz and Fred Czerny revived the old tradition of the grotto of the Virgin Mary. They renovated the square with the grotto to its current appearance.

Attention: This narrow path goes along the Druslach, which often overflows its banks in stressful flood situations (e.g. after a long period of heavy rain) and can flood this beautiful valley. Surprised me on a bike ride at Christmas 2023 when I didn't want to turn back and ended up waist-deep in water.

Great to hike on beautiful paths 🥾🤩 Pure nature !

The table and benches have seen their best days.

Very nice photo spot. Great mood. Somehow everyone in the region has to have a hit...;)

Leaving nature to itself and not doing so much seems to be the trend now
