Valley and Panorama Route: German Wine Route Bike Trail from Bad Dürkheim

We start at the Bad Dürkheim Tourist Information Office and head north across the Wurstmarktplatz to the roundabout, where we keep to the right to ride past the Gradierbau. Continuing along the road, we follow the signs for the “Talroute” toward Ungstein. The route takes us straight through Ungstein to the Römerkreisel; there, we keep to the right to follow the bike path along the L455 to Freinsheim. After passing through Freinsheim, we reach a roundabout that directs us straight ahead past the Freinsheim soccer club and along the railroad tracks toward Kirchheim an der Weinstraße. In Kirchheim, we head west, passing the cemetery and the volunteer fire department, toward Kleinkarlbach. Here we’ll already come across the “Panorama Route” of the German Wine Route bike path. We’ll follow these signs straight through Bobenheim am Berg along the L517 to Weisenheim am Berg. Following the main road past St. Jakobus Church, the bike path leads to the town’s outskirts and continues through the vineyards to Leistadt. Through Leistadt, we follow the main road past the historic town hall and keep to the right at the Sonnenkreisel roundabout to return through the vineyards to Bad Dürkheim.
