Activity itinerary

Deutsches Weintor

  • 15m
We are starting at the German Wine Gate. Here begins not only our wine hike, but also the German Wine Route – one of Germany's most beautiful holiday and gourmet routes. You will learn right at the beginning of our tour what the German Weintor has to do with the history of Pfalz wine.

Weinlehrpfad Station Schädlinge

  • 10m
In the 19th century, a tiny insect brought European viticulture to the brink of disaster: the phylloxera. How could this small animal threaten entire wine regions - and why has European viticulture not collapsed? We will get to the bottom of these questions at this station.

Kleines Weintor

  • 10m
At the Little Wine Gate, an impressive view opens up over the wine landscape of the Southern Palatinate, stretching across to the Black Forest on the other side of the Rhine plain. But what makes Pfalz wine and its wine villages so special? We take a look at landscape, climate, and viticulture – naturally without enjoying a good glass of Palatinate wine.

Weinlehrpfad Station Ehrenhain

  • 10m
Philipp Cuntz, Georg Scheu, August Herold, Friedrich von Bassermann-Jordan and others have sustainably shaped German viticulture. At this station, it's about your ideas, your courage, and your sometimes astonishing paths to success. Look forward to exciting stories and anecdotes that you probably haven't heard before.

Weinlehrpfad Station Sesel

  • 10m
The Sesel – a historical "vine shear," as the ancient Romans and Greeks knew it – takes us back to the beginnings of viticulture. And here, right on the German-French border, there is naturally much more to tell about the long history, traditions, and peculiarities of viticulture.
