Easy Nordic walking route through the vineyards
The start is at the Dürkheimer Riesenfass. From there, the path mainly follows paved field and farm roads.
At the beginning, a detour to the Michaelskapelle with panoramic views over Bad Dürkheim is worthwhile. At the end of the route, you return to the starting point. A few meters further from the barrel, you will find the Gradierbau (saline), where you can take a few deep breaths to finish.

SachsenhütteRoadbook
We start at the Dürkheimer Riesenfass, the largest barrel in the world, and follow the signs of the “Weinblätter” past the Wurstmarktkreisel and turn left before the Agip gas station into Sachsenhütterstraße. There we take the first turning on the right, up into the vineyards to the small intersection surrounded by dry stone walls. There we turn left and walk straight ahead slightly uphill to the ridge of the Spielberg (pulse board), where we enjoy the great view of the Palatinate Forest and Rhine Plain. The path descends to the north; at the next major intersection, we turn right towards Römerkelter and Römervilla. At the next fork, we turn right at the old execution site. We follow the path to the next major intersection. Here we turn right and then immediately left again (at the planting triangle) to continue along the upper path. At the next intersection, we keep slightly right and after a few meters find ourselves again at the intersection surrounded by dry stone walls. From there, it goes downhill again to Sachsenhütterstraße. At the end, turn right back to the starting point, the Riesenfass.
