Bad Dürkheim Graduation Tower

Highlight • Monument

This imposing structure, over 300 meters long, was originally built to extract salt. Ultimately, this was discontinued entirely in 1867. However, in the context of the spa town of Bad Dürkheim, which was developing during this period, it was quickly established that salt flats, in addition to their purely economic function as salt production sites, also have a very high health value. When the brine is trickled from the Maxquelle springing up in the Kurpark, large quantities of minerals are released into the air in the form of microscopically fine droplets, the aerosols, which are absorbed by visitors through their respiratory tract. It was recognized very early on that inhaling this air on the ambulatory and in the immediate vicinity of the salt works can have a soothing effect, especially on respiratory diseases. This effect can still be experienced today on a tour of the salt works.

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

Lower Bergweg, south of Ruppertsberg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If you want to drive from Meckenheim towards Königsbach, you can use the mountain path. The route is a normal commercial route, very quiet and easy to drive. Depending on the weather, it can also be a little dirty.
