Truffles, cheese, wine: La Strada del Barolo

Piedmont, the land at the foot of the mountains, is a paradise for connoisseurs. It is no coincidence that this is where the Slow Food movement started. The region's wines in particular are world-renowned - above all Barolo.
The king of wines, made from the Nebbiolo grape, grows south of Alba in eleven municipalities that have joined to form the Barolo Wine Route. Sixty-five of its winegrowers open their doors to travellers and invite them to drink. Other delicacies of the region can also be tasted, such as the blue cheese Castelmagno or the famous truffles of Alba.

Vineyard near Arbois

Unlike the others: The Jura Wine Route

Vin Jaune, Vin de paille or Macvin du Jura: in the remote mountain villages of the Jura, exceptional wines have been maturing for more than 1000 years. Especially the three sweet wines enjoy and connoisseurs high reputation.
On the 80 kilometre long Route des Vins du Jura, travellers can learn about their unusual production methods - for example in the Musée de la Vigne et du Vin, the wine museum in Arbois - and can taste the wines at the wineries. The castles, churches and abbeys along the route from Salins-les-Bains to Saint-Amour are also worth a visit.

Unlimited beer enjoyment. On the beer route of Saxony and Bohemia

It is 300 kilometres long, runs through two countries and connects 17 different breweries: The Ore Mountain Beer Route. Since June 2018, visitors have been able to discover the art of brewing in Bohemia and Saxony along the route, taste different beers and watch the master brewers at work. 
There are also a number of sights to discover along the route: In Breitenbrunn, for example, an old mine opens its galleries to visitors. In Jirkov in the Czech Republic, a magnificent baroque castle with a large garden awaits you. The moorland nature trail in Marienberg is also worth a detour.
