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.

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...

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.

Picnic spot with a view of the vineyards and Hambach Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful path through the vineyards with a view of Hambach Castle a must for hikers, walkers and mountain bikers. Best in autumn when the leaves of the vines are colored.

To See Beyond Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The artwork invites you to take a break with a fantastic view of the Rhine plain. The artist Tim Norris wanted to create a symbiosis of landscape and art. The concrete path on which the artwork stands is suitable for racing bikes.
