Waymark

The West Palatinate Way (German: Westpfalz-Wanderweg or, officially, Großer Westpfalz-Wanderweg) was a marked footpath that crossed the West Palatinate region in Germany, but is no longer maintained. The concept for this route emerged in 1980 from its sponsor the Association for the Promotion of Tourism in the West Palatinate (Verein zur Förderung des Tourismus in der Westpfalz) and was a cooperative venture between the counties in the West Palatinate, the Palatine Forest Club (a rambling club) and local pubs and restaurants. In 2006 and 2007, overnight bookings fell and, since 2009, the sponsors have no longer taken bookings and maintenance of the footpath and its waymarks has only been carried out in places by the Palatinate Club. The disbandment of the tourist association has also been discussed.[1]
