From the Betzenberg to the Wine Route
Through dense pine and beech forest on lonely little roads to lively Neustadt an der Weinstraße. A few kilometres through the vineyards of the Vorderpfalz - along the edge of the Haardt low mountain range to Maikammer, where the stop machine for the ascent to the Kalmit awaits on the outskirts of the town. The subsequent "Totenkopfstraße" down into the Elmstein valley is the most beautiful road in the Palatinate Forest. Via Johanniskreuz, the route leads through the picturesque Karlstal valley back to Kaiserslautern.
