Palatinate circular tour sporty

On this seven-day tour you will discover the endless charm of the Palatinate, also known as the "German Tuscany". While in the original Tuscany it is mainly red wines that are grown, here it is Riesling that has made the viticulture world-famous. The mild climate, the Mediterranean vegetation and the Italian influences in terms of history and culture characterise the flair of this unique region. In addition, German traditions and culinary delights join to form a successful mix - experience it for yourself!

Details of the "Palatinate round tour sporty"

Starting in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, you will cycle through the typical winegrowing villages. Taste the fine wines, which in many places have been raised to a whole new level by young winegrowers. In Bad Bergzabern, in addition to a discovery tour of the old town, castle & co. you can take a detour to the Südpfalztherme (spa).

On the 3rd day of the tour, you will pass the French border and can spend a few hours in beautiful Wissembourg in Alsace. There is no lack of romantic and picturesque towns on this tour: Rastatt, Speyer, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and Worms will welcome you warmly. Follow in the footsteps of the Nibelungs, Romans and Martin Luther, who all left their mark on the region's history.

Highlights of the 7-day cycling tour

• Magnificent views along the German Wine Route: The land around the vineyards is naturally hilly. This means the odd climb for you, but also the grandiose panoramas of the Palatinate. By the way, did you know that you can experience the almond blossom here in spring?
• The baroque town of Rastatt is a special jewel in Baden. A walk along the Historic Route is worthwhile, because you can get to know 23 sights at once. Whether it's the Castle or the Pagodenburg - take a step back and explore times long past.
• Heidelberg Castle is the eye-catcher of the Neckar city - also due to its reddish colouring, which is due to sandstone. It's well worth a visit, if only for the great views of the city and the surrounding countryside. Tip: You can enjoy a magnificent view of the castle from the Scheffel Terrace in the castle garden.
• The largest wine barrel in the world in Bad Dürkheim: 1.7 million litres of wine - that's how much fits into the extraordinary barrel, which can be seen from afar. But that's not all, you can even dine inside.
