Ausbacherhof - Schloß Veldenz in Lauterecken - Veldenz-Wanderweg – Stage 5 (Leading-Quality-Trail - Best of Europe)

The trail continues from Ausbacherhof   towards   Reipoltskirchen, with its   former moated castle, which after its renovation by the County of Kusel, has been turned into a real gem. The flooded moat and the geometrically laid out gardens offer a beautiful picture. 

Around the Wasserburg, the trail leads along a sculpture trail, which has been newly created in recent years. 

After many fantastic views we reach the village of Veldenz-Cronenberg and continue through the valley of Sulzbach up to the forest tavern "Am Weiher" (Pfälzerwald-Verein Lauterecken). The opening times are from 9 – 18 on Sundays and public holidays   from Good Friday until October and by appointment.

The end of the Veldenz-Wanderweg is the Veldenzer Schloss in Lauterecken. Here in the town are a number of lovingly-restored old houses which now enliven the atmosphere of the town.
