Varied Convertible Routes through the Palatinate

One of the most beautiful convertible routes leads directly through the vineyards along the German Wine Route. From Neustadt, the route heads towards Deidesheim and continues to Bad Dürkheim. It passes through picturesque villages such as Gimmeldingen, Forst, and Wachenheim and offers breathtaking views of the vineyard landscape. Especially in autumn, when the vineyards are bathed in warm colors, this route is a true highlight.

For those who love winding roads, a tour into the Palatinate Forest is recommended. A popular route leads from Neustadt up to Hambach Castle – one of the most significant landmarks of the German democracy movement and part of the Route of Democracy.

After a short visit to the castle, it's onward to Kalmit, the highest point of the Palatinate Forest. The route to it takes you through dense forests, past romantic clearings, and offers pure driving pleasure with tight curves and wide turns.

Another exciting convertible tour takes you over the Edenkoben Valley to St. Martin and then towards Burrweiler. This route combines idyllic wine villages with dreamy panoramic views over the Rhine Valley. Thanks to little traffic and perfectly developed roads, it is a secret tip for convertible fans who want to cruise relaxed through the South Palatinate.
