Wissembourg: Alsatian Sweets—who can resist them? © Albrecht RitterPhoto: Albrecht Ritter, Rother Bergverlag
While the German Wine Gate marks the southern end of the German Wine Route, Wissembourg is the northern boundary of the Alsatian Wine Route. As we stroll through the vineyards, our gaze sweeps across both regions, and we realize that, for the benefit of all, hiking and the enjoyment of wine know no borders today.
We start at the Wissembourg train station and walk northwest, past the Hotel Restaurant Europe, up Rue de la Gare. We go around the roundabout on the right and stroll through the green space on the left bank of the Lauter. At the next intersection, we leave the riverside path to the right and pass through the breach in the city wall. We walk along the left side of the fortification wall to the Quai du 4 Novembre. Turning right takes us to the picturesque and well-preserved old town of Wissembourg, which owes its origins to an influential Benedictine abbey founded in the 7th century. Despite an eventful history marked by wars and plundering—during which it belonged to Germany or France on several occasions—Wissembourg is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Alsace.

Albrecht Ritter, geboren und aufgewachsen zwischen Schwäbischer Alb und Bodensee, lebt heute an der badischen Bergstraße. Seine Leidenschaft für die Landschaft, ihre Vielfalt und Zusammenhänge mündete in ein Studium der Geographie. Erst spät entdeckte er die Wanderleidenschaft, pilgerte auf diversen europäischen Jakobswegen und verfasste einen Wanderführer über den südfranzösischen Pilgerweg Via Tolosana. Danach gänzlich dem Wandern verfallen, schrieb er Wanderbücher über seine jetzige Heimat und ihre nähere Umgebung. Sein liebstes Wanderrevier liegt direkt vor der Haustüre an Neckar, Bergstraße, Odenwald und Pfälzerwald. Aber auch auf Wanderpfaden in den Bergen Umbriens, der Toskana und in den Französischen Cevennen, wenn möglich abseits der Touristenströme, blüht sein Herz auf.
