Karlstal Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

From the street you also get an impressive view of the rocky gorge in which the Moosalbe flows downhill. The Karlstalschlucht is characterized by mossy rocks and small waterfalls. It is also a popular highlight among hikers.

Elmstein Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Elmstein Valley offers a wonderful ascent to Johanniskreuz even before Elmstein starts. The slope percentages always remain single digits and thus there is "enough air" to enjoy nature. The descent is just as beautiful. Pure enjoyment coming from Johanniskreuz to Breitenstein. There you can turn onto Totenkopfstraße and conquer the Kalmit after the beautiful descent.

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.

Elmstein–Iggelbach Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If I'm not mistaken, the slope is significantly less than what Komoot shows.

Between Wellbachtal and Iggelbach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Super nice forest road that meanders without many vertical meters along a ridge. On the way you can stop at the Schindhübelturm, which offers a 360 ° view over the Palatinate Forest.
