Driving Pleasure around Kaiserslautern – The Palatinate Forest as a Curvy Paradise

Kaiserslautern is located right on the edge of the Palatinate Forest Nature Park, the largest contiguous forest area in Germany. Just a few minutes after starting, wonderfully winding roads can be discovered, winding through deep forests, past sandstone cliffs, and over gentle hills. A particularly rewarding route leads towards Johanniskreuz – a legendary intersection in the middle of the forest, accessible from all sides via picturesque roads. The route over Trippstadt offers a mix of dense tree tunnels and wide views.

Continuing on via Elmstein and Esthal to Neustadt an der Weinstraße is also a real pleasure: small villages, little traffic, and plenty of opportunities to stop spontaneously and enjoy the tranquility of the forest. The combination of nature, good infrastructure, and exciting route layouts makes the Palatinate Forest a paradise for everyone driving a cabriolet.

The Technology Museum is particularly worth seeing, which, along with the Pfalzgalerie Museum, has much to offer for art enthusiasts. Kaiserslautern shines with a lively mix of history, culture, and student dynamism – and is a place that represents an exciting stop on any tour through Rhineland-Palatinate.
