St. Martin Historic Village

Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of St. Martin is worth a visit at any time of year. Wine bars, vineyards and cafés line up endlessly. It is a pleasure to walk through the town and of course to stop for a drink.

A very beautiful tour with a decent amount of elevation. St. Martin is simply magical.

At least we went uphill through the beautiful, shady forest - but with today's temperatures (around 33 °C in St. Martin) it was still a pretty strenuous tour... 🤪💪

Attached are a few photos of the place in the evening...

After a three-year delay, we finally headed to the Palatinate, this time even paired with the Night of Open Wine Cellars next Saturday.

But wine wasn't the only thing on the agenda; of course, we also planned a hike or two in the Palatinate Forest.

Birthday tour to the highest mountain in the Palatinate.
Great tour in great weather 😃

May 24, 2023,St. Martin - Felsenfest an der Kalmit

The most famous mountain in the Palatinate is the Betzenberg. However, the Kalmit, at 672 m the second-highest elevation in the federal state, currently offers significantly better views than the place where Fritz Walter, the “Walz von der Pfalz” or Mario Basler played.

That's the way to live. After a few meters of altitude from St. Martin to the Kalmit. And then a cool drink at the Kalmithaus. Back over beautiful paths in glorious sunshine ☀️
