    The Biblical Wine Path leads over easily walkable, flat paths that can also be easily managed by people with disabilities. The first four steles (vine-stock and Bible, the tree of life, vineyard - people of God, the boar rooting) stand respectively on the left side of the path directly behind the Marian chapel. The fifth stele (Jesus the vine stock) is located a bit further on the right side. Then the path turns left. Shortly before the motorway is the sixth stele (living water - vine blood), where the path turns left. Shortly afterwards, the path turns left again to the seventh stele (danger to life). The eighth stele (peace) is straight ahead. Then the path turns right to the ninth stele (wine and love). On a straight stretch, on the right side of the path, there are the tenth and eleventh steles (the wedding at Cana, the Last Supper). At the Lebanon cedar, the path turns left again towards the Marian chapel. Shortly before the chapel stands the last stele (heaven).

    Book recommendation by the author

    A free flyer is available at the i-Punkt Kirrweiler (Hauptstr. 7, 67489 Kirrweiler, E-Mail: i-punkt@kirrweiler.de, Tel.: 06321 5079), on-site in the information box at the overview board behind the Marian chapel, or also for download (Flyer Biblical Wine Path at Kirrweiler). This flyer contains QR codes for all the steles and is used to access the audio files on site.

    Since the texts on the steles can be difficult to read depending on the weather and lighting conditions, there is also a separate detailed accompanying brochure ("The Biblical Wine Path at Kirrweiler, rediscovering wine and the Bible") in which the texts on the steles and also the texts of the audio files are summarized and can be read again. This is available at the i-Punkt Kirrweiler (see above) for a fee of € 2.
