From its starting point in Bottenau the Rench Valley Trail runs through vineyards to Schloss Staufenberg and continues to the Mooskopf with its Moos Tower. With steep ascents and descents in places, the route runs along the southern side of the Rench valley past Oppenau and Bad Peterstal to the Alexanderschanze. After passing the source of the Rench, the highest point on the route is reached :the Schliffkopf. The path now runs downhill to the ruins of All Saints' Abbey and the All Saints Waterfalls. Returning to the Rench valley, the route reaches its finishing point at the ruins of the Schauenburg.
