Marktler Platz Fountain

Highlight • Monument

The "Marktler Platz" in Gönnheim is a very beautiful square with a historic sandstone fountain. As well as the hotel/country inn "Zum Lamm", which is located in a beautifully restored sandstone building. restaurantzumlamm.de

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.

Rotsteig Pass (340 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The climb from both sides is very nice to drive and certainly a challenge on a tour, but on sunny days there is absolute traffic chaos at the parking lots and wild parking

St. Georg Church (Wachenheim an der Weinstraße)

Highlight • Religious Site

Due to its eventful history, St. George's Church does not follow a uniform architectural style. As a result of the Reformation, the church became a simultaneous church in 1707. The western nave was given to the Reformed Church (today's Protestant Church), the eastern part (Catholic Church) has hardly been used for church purposes since the new Edith Stein Church (Friedelsheimer Straße) was built.
