Loop
From the starting point in Göllheim, this challenging cycle marathon leads through the varied north of the Palatinate, true to the motto "between forest and vines". The route combines the wooded mountain ranges of the North Palatinate uplands around the Donnersberg with the sunny wine landscapes of the German Wine Route. The region has deep historical roots; the route leads through areas with traces of Celtic settlements and past medieval castles that once protected the valleys. Exceptional physical stamina is required to master the considerable marathon distance and the numerous meters in altitude, which are an early test of form, especially in spring. The terrain remains technically uncomplicated on asphalted side roads, but the constant ups and downs demand a high level of stamina, but reward you with sweeping views over the Palatinate Sea of Vines and the Palatinate Forest.
