Ruppertsecken – Highest Village in the Palatinate

Highlight • Cycleway

Coming from Marienthal towards Falkenstein. Tough climbs with varying gradients. Best to go very early in the day and just enjoy the beautiful landscape. The subsequent descent into the Falkensteiner valley is also very beautiful.
