팔츠의 란다우 최고의 라이딩 경로

로트(Roth) 바로 위쪽에 아름답게 위치한 예쁜 작은 와인 마을입니다. 많은 와인 생산자와 몇몇 식사 장소가 있습니다.

We were lucky enough to spend time there today.

In front of the large entrance steps of the Protestant church, on the right, stands a large, martial-looking war memorial from 1938 (initially planned only for the fallen of the First World War; later, however, it was also intended for all victims of the Second World War).

A neo-Romanesque church dating from 1843 with an imposing twin-tower facade and a large rose window on the east side. Locally, it is also known as the 'Cathedral of the Queich Valley'. Source: https://wilgartswiesen.de/protestantische-kirche-wilgartswiesen/

This artwork, entitled "To See Beyond," is part of the "St. Martin Art Trail" and dates from 2023. "London-based artist Tim Norris draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and, wherever possible, uses local natural materials in combination with constructed elements. As a harmonious symbiosis of landscape and art, the work invites visitors to enjoy the expansive view across the Rhine plain. It consists of an inner layer of stretched canvas, which offers protection and shade to the seated figure, while the outer layer of local vine tendrils alludes to the surrounding wine region. 'To See Beyond' translates to 'to see beyond.' We can interpret this as the view across the Rhine plain or, philosophically, as the perspective from the present into the future."

Imposing 19th-century church building right next to the railway tracks.

Beautiful climb and little traffic - I'll be back :)

Rode yesterday. A truly beautiful stretch in the wonderful Palatinate region, on a lovely, quiet county road and superb road-bike asphalt.
