Seehoftrail Erlenbach bei Dahn

The Seehoftrail Erlenbach bei Dahn is a new trail running event in the Dahn Felsenland, organized by FC Erlenbach. The venue is the Seehofweiher – a picturesque pond in the mixed forest above Erlenbach, which has been a popular local recreation spot for decades and offers suitable infrastructure for start and finish with its kiosk.

Four Routes

The competition offers four route options for different target groups:

• Seehoftrail (10.4 km / 350 meters elevation gain): Main run for ambitious trail runners, also a scoring run in the WasgauCup 2026.
• Wasgau5000 (5.9 km): Medium-distance route for beginners and recreational athletes.
• Youth Run (2 km): Shorter route for young runners.
• Mini Run (400 m): Sprint for the little ones.

This tiered selection of routes makes the Seehoftrail a family event, accommodating both competitive participants and hobby athletes.

The Race Course

The main route leads through the scenically impressive Dahn Felsenland with its distinctive red sandstone rocks, mixed forests, and viewpoints. The 350 meters of elevation gain demand stamina and strength on the steep ascents; surefootedness is required on the descents. The course is well-marked and supervised by volunteer marshals.

The WasgauCup

The WasgauCup is a series of regional trail running competitions in the Dahn Felsenland and the neighboring Wasgau region on the French side. Participants collect points throughout the season and compete for the overall ranking at the end of the series. The Seehoftrail is integrated as a scoring event, making it a mandatory date in the season for many runners.
