North-side ascent/descent to Rotsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The "Rotsteig" is at an altitude of 340 m. The north-east driveway from Wachenheim is about 7 km long and about 216 meters in altitude have to be overcome. The route for almost completely through the Palatinate Forest. The asphalt is unfortunately getting a bit old.

Silbertal Wall

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The "Wand vom Silbertal" is a short ascent (if you come from the north) / descent (if you come from the south) with a decent uphill / downhill gradient.
In the middle of the ascent / descent is the Forsthaus Silbertal. forsthaus-silbertal.de

Totenkopfstraße

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Extremely beautiful, narrow road right through the Palatinate Forest. Perfect in conjunction with the Kalmit increase. Fortunately for motorcycles locked in the summer but she can be quite busy at the weekend. On not so nice days you really have your peace here. Dry pine forests alternate with dense, moss-covered beech trees, while on the way a red sandstone lolls through the vegetation and some hairpin bends and curves over steep slopes are also in there. Last but not least, the road then follows a small, wild stream, where it slowly runs flat.

Kalmithöhenstraße Upper Junction

Highlight • Mountain Pass

As a Palatinate native, you must have cycled up the Kalmit at least once in your life: a steady but moderate incline – but exhausting...

View from Kalmit

Highlight • Viewpoint

The highest peak of the Haardt offers a gigantic view over the entire Rhine plain. Under one extends a sea of grape vines, left and right lined with dry pine forests on the slopes of Haardt. On the top there is a restaurant, from whose terrace you can enjoy this view.
