At the end of the vineyard you enter the forest, the slope becomes steeper but remains very regular. The road is in very good condition until you reach the junction leading to the Kalmit car park, where you should be careful on the return journey.

The ascent does not end at the car park; you have to go around the service road barrier, which is more suitable for gravel, to reach the Kalmitaus chalet after 600 m at an altitude of 672 m, where you can buy supplies (visit the Kalmitaus website for opening times).

The "Weizenbier" will refresh the "moteur", but it is above all the view over the Rhine plain that is magnificent.

Avoid weekends and public holidays, when both the road and the chalet are very busy.

A la sortie du vignoble on rentre dans la forêt, la pente s'accentue pour rester très régulière, la route est en très bon état jusqu'à l'embranchement qui mène au parking du Kalmit ou il vaut mieux être prudent lors du retour .

L'ascension ne se termine pas au parking, il faut contourner la barrière du chemin de service plutôt destiné au gravel pour atteindre après 600m le chalet du Kalmithaus à 672 m d'altitude où il sera possible de se ravitailler. ( visiter le site "Kalmithaus" pour les horaires d'ouverture )

La "Weizenbier" rafraichira le "moteur", mais c'est surtout la vue sur la plaine du Rhin qui est magnifique.

A éviter les week-end et jours fériés où aussi bien la route que le chalet sont très fréquentés.
