グロースフィッシュリンゲンの峠・トップ8

Anyone who has made it this far can and should continue the rest of the way to the summit 👍. Otherwise, head towards Maikammer, St. Martin or Elmstein... the agony of choice

You can find a list of knight stones here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Rittersteine

You can take a “passport photo” here. However, you are not really at the summit and you don't have a view here either. The way to the Kalmit hut at the summit is not far.

Here is the decision to stay on the road or drive to the Kalmit summit. Access to this can only be enjoyed to a limited extent by racing bike.

The Drei Buchen pass lies between Ramberg and Burrweiler/Weyher (between Edenkoben and Annweiler) and connects the Dernbachtal with the Modenbachtal. The pass can also serve as a connection between the two passes Lolosruhe and Taubensuhl. The ascent from Ramberg was part of the 2006 Rhineland-Palatinate Tour. There was a mountain classification on the pass. There is also a larger parking lot around the pass, which is often used by hikers. From the top of the pass in a northerly direction (approx. 400 m) is the Ramberger Waldhaus, a mixture of restaurant and Palatinate Forest hut. A stop is recommended, but unfortunately the forest house can only be reached via an unpaved forest path, which can be problematic with a racing bike depending on the weather. Source: quaeldich.de

Here you can still decide whether you want to go up to Kalmit or continue on Totenkopfstrasse.

There is also a large rest area with a few benches and tables in the shade.

Here stands one of the more than 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV). Its full inscription reads: "Kohlplatz - retreat battle of the Battalion von Schladen under Major von Borck on July 13, 1794." It indicates the following: "In the First Coalition War, there were repeated battles at Steigerkopf in 1794 and 1795. [...] After the death of the Prussian General von Pfau on July 13, 1794, there were retreat battles by the Prussian troops. The retreat of the Battalion von Schladen under Major von Borck led from Schänzel via Benderplatz and Kohlplatz to the Rhine plain. The defeat of the coalition troops at Schänzel resulted in a retreat to and across the Rhine. As a result, Prussia withdrew from the war after an armistice with France."
