The Kalmit is located near Maikammer in the Southern Wine Route district of Rhineland-Palatinate. At 673.64 meters above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the Palatinate Forest. From up here, you have breathtaking views of the Rhine plain, the Odenwald forest, and even the Black Forest. Simply amazing 🤩👌🏼. There's also a rest hut up here where you can enjoy delicious food 😋👍🏼.
