Felsenland Sagenweg

The Felsenland Sagenweg is usually divided into five stages over about 86 km. It starts at the Tourist-Information Dahner Felsenland on Schulstraße 29 in Dahn and finishes at the Spießwiesen leisure park in Bruchweiler-Bärenbach. Common stage ends are Erfweiler, Bundenthal, Schönau, and Fischbach.

Most hikers complete the Felsenland Sagenweg in five days, which matches the standard five-stage breakdown of the route. With a total distance of 86.05 km and 2,501 m of climbing, the daily mileage is moderate, but the repeated ascents to rock viewpoints and castle ruins make it more demanding than the raw distance suggests.
