    Photo: Tourist-Info St. Martin
Der etwa 1.800 Einwohner zählende Wein- und Luftkurort St. Martin liegt malerisch eingebettet in einer Talfalte am Rande des Pfälzerwaldes. Über St. Martin erhebt sich die Kropsburg aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Von hier aus hat man eine herrliche Aussicht über die Rheinebene und den “Saumpfad der Glückseligkeit”, wie die 80 km lange “Deutsche Weinstraße” auch genannt wird. In St. Martin, der “heimlichen Metropole der Pfälzischen Toskana”, finden Sie stattliche Fachwerkhäuser und Adelssitze in romantischen mittelalterlichen Gässchen. Der historische Ortskern steht seit 1981 unter Denkmalschutz. Besonders sehenswert ist die Katholische Kirche: Sie steht an einer ehemaligen Kreuzung zweier Römerstraßen. Um das Jahr 700 wurde hier eine erste kleine Holzkirche errichtet, die um etwa 1200 einem Steinbau wich. Eine Rarität von höchstem Wert sind die aus dem 15. Jh. stammenden Kirchenbänke, die heute auf der Empore stehen. Während der Saison werden regelmäßig Dorfführungen angeboten, näheres unter www.sankt-martin.de
The wine and climatic health resort of St. Martin, which has around 1,800 inhabitants, is picturesquely nestled in a valley fold on the edge of the Palatinate Forest. The 13th century Kropsburg castle rises above St. Martin. From here you have a magnificent view over the Rhine plain and the "mule track of bliss", as the 80 km long "German Wine Route" is also known. In St. Martin, the "secret metropolis of Palatinate Tuscany", you will find stately half-timbered houses and aristocratic residences in romantic medieval alleyways. The historic town center has been a listed building since 1981. The Catholic church is particularly worth seeing: it stands at a former crossroads of two Roman roads. A first small wooden church was built here around the year 700, which gave way to a stone building around 1200. A rarity of the highest value are the pews from the 15th century, which today stand in the gallery. Guided tours of the village are offered regularly during the season, for more information visit www.sankt-martin.de
