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.

A nice section of the route. Great to drive. But beware of the cars.

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.

Modenbach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

- Great, but somewhat steeper climb from the Edenkobener Valley (between 4% to approx. 10%) over approx. 6-7 km.
- Nice location in the forest, the route is only heavily used on weekends. In less good weather and during the week hardly any traffic.
- Warning: deer crossing: I've already crossed the road twice

Eastern ascent/descent to the Drei Buchen Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Drei Buchen pass lies between Ramberg and Burrweiler/Weyher (between Edenkoben and Annweiler) and connects the Dernbachtal with the Modenbachtal. The pass can also serve as a connection between the two passes Lolosruhe and Taubensuhl. The ascent from Ramberg was part of the 2006 Rhineland-Palatinate Tour. There was a mountain classification on the pass. There is also a larger parking lot around the pass, which is often used by hikers.
From the top of the pass in a northerly direction (approx. 400 m) is the Ramberger Waldhaus, a mixture of restaurant and Palatinate Forest hut. A stop is recommended, but unfortunately the forest house can only be reached via an unpaved forest path, which can be problematic with a racing bike depending on the weather.
