In a mild, almost Mediterranean climate, cycle through idyllic wine villages, between rolling hills and blossoming almond trees. The scent of citrus and grape vines fills the air as you experience the Palatinate at its most indulgent.
From the Kloster Hornbach and the Boutique Hotel Lösch, you can reach the German Wine Route in just 50 minutes by car. Renowned wineries, cosy wine taverns, and charming vintner villages await – perfect for all those who love wine, nature, and joie de vivre. A journey that’s a joy to both the body and the senses; it shows why the Palatinate is often affectionately called German Tuscany.
The German Wine Route from Bockenheim to the French border
An adventure for all the senses. Eighty-five kilometres of wine and scenery. Not to mention picturesque villages, a mild climate, and 1,800 hours of sunshine a year. The German Wine Route from Bockenheim to Schweigen-Rechtenbach on the French border is worth a visit in any season. Whether you’re hiking, cycling along the German Wine Route cycle path, or exploring by car, each offers its own delightful way to enjoy Germany’s oldest wine route.
Wine and Mediterranean flair on the German Wine Route
Start in the far south, at the French border with Alsace. There, the German Wine Gate in Schweigen-Rechtenbach welcomes you to Germany’s second-largest wine-growing region. The first stretch from Schweigen to Maikammer is also known as the Southern Wine Route. As you navigate the 85 kilometres that lead to the House of the German Wine Route, you’ll pass well-known wine towns and picturesque villages and discover an enchanting landscape of rolling hills.
The special appeal:
your holiday on the German Wine Route
What makes the German Wine Route so appealing? Is it the Mediterranean flair of this south-western corner of Germany, where the sun shines 1,800 hours a year – enough to ripen figs, kiwis, and even lemons? The delicate pink almond blossom that heralds spring as early as March? The proximity to France and its savoir vivre? Or is it the charm of dreamy little wine-growing villages with vine-draped lanes, set among gently rolling vineyards?
The German Wine Route is just a 50-minute drive from the Kloster Hornbach and the Boutique Hotel Lösch. Find out for yourself what makes it so special – ideally in one of our two vintage Citroën 2CVs, Claire and Clement!
