Wegbeschreibung
The sixth stage starts at the Roman Museum in Homburg-Schwarzenacker. The route goes once around the museum and then left into the Pfänderbach Valley, past the ski and hiking hut Einöd. The route follows the Pfänderbach on a small path and after 1.5 km ascent exits the forest. Here it passes the Berghof Einöd, then turns right onto a service road and again left into the forest. Through the idyllic Lambsbach Valley, the path leads to the hotel-restaurant Waldidyll Rabenhorst. It continues through the forest, over forest paths and trails past the burial mound to the Vauban fortress in Homburg.
