St.Martin - Hermersberger Hof

We start in St. Martin and roll through Edenkoben - Burrweiler - Albersweiler to Annweiler. From there, we have a few hills until Wilgartswiesen, then an 8 km climb up to Hermersbergerhof, where we reward ourselves with a nice piece of cake at the 'Café Ingrid'. At km 41, we reach the highest point of the route and then enjoy 15 km through the beautiful Frankenweide forest. As steep as the climb was, the descent is equally steep – we let it roll for about 10 km down to Helmbach. Here comes the next challenge – the Todenkopfstraße. It goes towards Kalmit, with sections having a gradient of almost 10%. After about 4 steep kilometers, we reach the turnoff to Kalmitstraße and head back to St. Martin. A very nice tour, which, however, presents a small challenge in places (for us older riders).
