West Palatinate Way

The Western Palatinate Trail ( actually: Big Westpfalz trail ) was a trail that led across the Western Palatinate and is now no longer entertained. The package tour concept of 1980 in the western Palatinate, launched by the sponsoring organization for the promotion of tourism trail involved a collaboration between the counties of West Palatinate, the Palatinate Forest Association and restaurateurs. In the years 2006 and 2007 the number of overnight stays fell such that the sponsoring organization no longer maintains book offers since 2009 and the Care of the ways markers is performed through the Palatinate Forest Club only in limited areas. The resolution of the association is considered.
