Between Wilchingen and Osterfingen, extensive vineyards shape the landscape of the Klettgau region. Rows of Pinot Noir, Riesling-Silvaner, and Pinot Gris stretch across the rolling hills, giving the region its distinctive character. The wine country reveals itself in a different light each season – from the fresh green of spring to the warm colors of autumn.

Take your time here to consciously perceive the landscape. In spring, the Seldenhalde transforms into a sea of white blossoms – countless snowdrops line the slopes and create a particularly atmospheric accent along the path.
