Riquewihr on the Alsace wine route

Vineyards as far as the eye can see: The Alsace Wine Route

rom Thann to Marlenheim, the Alsace Wine Route winds its way lovingly through the region for more than 170 kilometres, passing through more than 117 wine villages on its way through valleys and over wine villages. 
Around 800 producers open the doors of their cellars to travellers - and share their passion for wine with them. There are cosy wine taverns and signposted wine trails, but also castles and palaces, medieval towns and villages. Top tip: The flower-decorated Riquewihr with its many half-timbered houses in the car-free, historic old town.

 

Stiegler Brauwelt

Where Mozart drank: The Salzburg beer route

Beer has been brewed in Salzburg for more than 600 years; the first brewery - the Münchnerhof - opened in 1374. The whole variety of tastes of Salzburg beers can best be explored on a beer hike - along the Salzburg Beer Route. 
Eleven stations with different specialities can be visited: From the Stieglkeller - famous for its Märzen beer - below Hohensalzburg Fortress. Via the Sternbräu, where Mozart is said to have caroused and danced. To the Augustiner Bräu, the traditional monastery brewery with its huge brewing room. And because almost all the stops are in the city centre, the cultural sights of the Mozart city are not far away.

House of the old vine in Maribor

Where the oldest vine in the world thrives: The Maribor Wine Route

Around 400 years old and still bears fruit in autumn: the vine in Lent, a district of Maribor, is the oldest in the world from whose grapes wine is still made - and the starting point for a hike along the Maribor Wine Route.
The route leads along the river Drava on its banks and along the slopes of its banks the vines typical for the region such as Welschriesling, Chardonnay, or Ruländer. Wineries and farms invite you to visit them. Overnight stays are also possible. Back in Lent you can admire exhibits from the history of Slovenian viticulture in the House of Old Vine.
