Uni Villa Hike
Please note: CHANGE IN BUS SHUTTLE SERVICE
Due to a road closure in Hochspeyer, the shuttle buses between Hochspeyer and Waldleiningen do not stop at Hochspeyer station, but at the building of the municipal administration in Hauptstraße 121. The route between the municipal administration and the station can be covered on foot in approx. 10 minutes. Google Maps
The shuttle from UNISPORT Kaiserslautern to Waldleiningen (departure 12:00) remains unaffected by this change.
All information about the shuttle service including times and stops can be found further down on this page.
The Route
The UVW hiking route leads from the RPTU campus Kaiserslautern via Waldleiningen to Villa Denis in Frankenstein. The route is signposted all year round, and on the day of the event guides and numerous helpers will ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Ambitious hikers are recommended to take the 26-kilometer route. If you want to take it more leisurely, but don't want to miss out on the beauty of nature, you can start at kilometer 13, with the second half of the hike from Waldleiningen.
On the way you can expect refreshment stations, games, music, and much more. Arrived at Villa Denis, the popular Park Fest will take place. Look forward to an entertaining day of hiking!
