Tips from the Community
Locals often refer to it as the "Wetterkreuz" instead of the Bischofskreuz. The last approx. 100 m to the summit can be managed with a mountain bike, but older bikers should partially push their bikes due to numerous tree roots and stones.

A very beautiful path leads past the stone pyramid, which marks the highest point of the Blätterberg. But there are other markings here too. Ancient boundary stones and rocks with boundary marks can be found on the path. The cross stands for the Hochstift Speyer.

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 😋👍🏼.

At the parking lot in front of the Kalmithaus, the slippery road ends: the asphalt simply ends, as if someone had said, "Okay, adventure begins here!" From there, things get really tricky for road bikes – rough gravel, small stones, and the constant fear of getting a flat tire. You briefly consider whether you love your bike... or just ride over it. But honestly: The last stretch is still worth it. It's short, nasty – and at the top, the reward is complete. A view to fall in love with, a clear view all the way to the Odenwald (if the mist is kind), a cool drink from the hut, and that muscle cramp you trust. Perfect. If you've made it this far, you'll still make it all the way to the top. And afterward: roll down the gravel, let off some air (from your lungs, not the tires), and proudly say, "Kalmit? Sure – I made it."
