One can talk of the romance of being on the road, but like most romance, there is lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes. You might, perhaps, be wondering where one might find the Pfälzerwald. Fair enough. Would you be any wiser if I said it was the Palatinate Forest? This runs north to south, to the west of the Rhine, stretching westwards towards the French border at Saarbrücken. Most people don’t go there because you can whizz past on the autobahn by way of Kaiserslautern, but I always find it rather therapeutic to go through the forest, on a road that is almost as fast – and has fewer vehicles.
