Forest walk: Weisenheim am Berg - Circular trail 3

From the Mandeltal hiking car park, the path initially follows the same route as circular trails "2" and "4" back toward the village, past the school, and then immediately right in a sharp hairpin turn into the forest. The path bends to the left, and then you turn left again heading south, circling the edge of the village through the forest. After a right turn, the path runs a short distance together with the Green Cross hiking trail and also reconnects with circular trail "4." Above the Eiertal, circular trail 3 then independently heads west to the Plauser rest area and from there continues over the Kühberg further south, where it soon meets the Green Cross and circular trail 4 again. After circling the Ungeheuersee (with a place to eat!), the route returns via the Burgunderrastplatz following the Bänkeltour (marked: grandfather with grandson) back over the Langentaler Hang into Weisenheim am Berg. From there, it continues via "Am Kirschberg" and "Im Eiertal" to Haalbergstraße and back to the Mandeltal car park.

The first three kilometers ascend slightly, then continue for three kilometers without significant inclines. From kilometer 6 onward, the path moderately descends again.
