Kalmit, Mountain summit in Südliche Weinstraße, Germany
The Kalmit rises to 673 meters, making it the highest elevation point in the Palatinate Forest near the Upper Rhine Valley.
The summit has served as a strategic signal station since Roman times, with a radio relay station and weather monitoring facility now occupying the site.
The Kalmithaus mountain hut, established in 1908, represents the first hiking refuge in the Palatinate Forest, serving traditional regional dishes to visitors.
Visitors can reach the summit via multiple hiking trails from Maikammer, with a parking area located 250 meters northwest of the peak.
From the summit terrace, observers can see across the Rhine Plain to the German Wine Road, the Odenwald mountains, and the northern Black Forest.
