I then grabbed a Pinot Gris from one of the vending machines and collected a backpack full of chestnuts and walnuts on the way to Weiler. 😁

I'm already looking forward to getting home 🥳

The start and finish is the German Wine Gate. From Silence-Rechtenbach, the gateway to the German Wine Route, we cross the border into Alsace in France. Through the sea of vines, deep forests and wonderful views of a great landscape. Past Chateau St.Paul, through the Bannholz towards Wissembourg. Once you arrive in Wissembourg, you walk along the old city wall …

From Silence-Rechtenbach, the gateway to the German Wine Route, we went through the vineyards and forests across the border into French Alsace.

At the beginning it goes through the vineyards with great views. Right now it's starting to bloom beautifully everywhere. We continued on small paths through the forest.

You start in the vineyards at the "Deutsches Weintor" with "Guten Tag", and barely two kilometers further between the vines you say "Bonjour"😉. A coffee in Alsace and maybe an ice cream in the Palatinate? Or vice versa?😊
Or the tarte flambée with a glass of wine 🍷, no matter where!
