Spoiled by the sun: The Baden wine route
The Baden Wine Route runs for a proud 500 kilometres through the sunny southwest of Germany - and passes through the Badische Bergstrasse, Kraichgau, Ortenau, Kaiserstuhl, Tuniberg, Breisgau and Markgräflerland wine growing regions.
There is a lot to discover on the theme road, which was opened in 1954: for example, the Engelsfelsen (Angel Rock) in the Bühlertal valley - one of the steepest vineyards in Europe with a 75 percent gradient. Neuburg Abbey near Heidelberg with its attached monastery brewery. Or the wine grotto near Alsenhof from the 16th century. And of course, there are winegrowers along the way who invite you to visit them.
