Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is accessible with public transport.

View over the Rhine Plain from Melibokus

Highlight • Viewpoint

In misty or foggy weather you can actually save the summit, but the rather dense forest around it is very mystical.

In clear weather, the view in the west to the Palatinate Forest and its highest mountain, the Donnersberg. Northwest you can see the Taunus, while to the north the skyscrapers of Frankfurt can be seen. The latter, however, much better from the castle Alsbach, as you have to see from Melibokus through some trees.

March 23, 2025,RR 23.3. Statt Südpfalz, hm im Odenwald

I was actually looking forward to Brodworschd or Saumache and Dubbeglasspritzer at the Gimmeldingen Almond Blossom Festival. But the rain radar didn't bode well. So it was a quick detour to the Odenwald with a comparatively large number of "hm"—short and joking 😜 Melibokus, Auerbach Castle, Felsberg, and Neunkirchener Höhe.

May 23, 2025,Neuenkirchen mal anders hoch🏔🚲💪🏼🥵
