Ortenauer Weinpfad

Castles, palaces and chapels sit enthroned between the vineyards, small wine-growing villages with picturesque half-timbered houses are strung together like pearls, and locals and guests "sit" in front of the wine taverns with wine and snacks: physical activity and enjoyable discovery go hand in hand on the Ortenau Wine Trail.

The 120-kilometre-long wine trail begins in Gernsbach in the Murg Valley and leads via Baden-Baden through the vineyards on the western edge of the Black Forest to Gengenbach and Diersburg south of Offenburg.

The Ortenau Wine Trail runs for over 100 kilometers parallel to the Baden Wine Route through the Ortenau wine paradise.

The advantages of the region can be combined on a hike: the Ortenau wines with the delicacies from the kitchen. Along the Ortenau Wine Trail, you can experience wine on seven one-day stages from Gernsbach to Diersburg, from the Murg to the Kinzig. Castles and palaces as well as countless vantage points for views across the Rhine Valley to the Vosges Mountains or the mountains of the Black Forest appeal to all the senses.Wine guides, certified tour guides, will be happy to take you on your own personal wine experience, be it on a wine hike, a wine tasting with vineyard or a winery tour.
