Gräfenhausen BurgenblickPhoto: Wohlrabe Quadronet, Wohlrabe Quadronet, Verein SÜW Annweiler e.V.
Short hike through the vineyards of Gräfenhausen with plenty of information about Burgunder cultivation in the westernmost wine-growing community of the Palatinate. Also suitable as a family route.
Attention: At the moment, the narrow path from Steingasse is not passable due to construction work. Please use the next path heading uphill from Steingasse. Then you will also reach Kirschackerstraße and follow the sign "Burgunderweg" to the right.
The path starts in Gräfenhausen at the Mönchsbrunnen. From the hiking board, we walk left through the alleys of Gräfenhausen out to the meadows, where donkeys, goats, and aurochs graze. At the first hiking trail crossing, we have a great view of the Trifels and a place to rest. There is also the sculpture "Golden Vineyard". Through the meadows and vineyards, we continue to the pergola. Here, we go uphill on the left, past the long bench and the organ pipe and immediately turn right uphill into the forest.
In the forest, the path quickly turns left. Now we walk along the forest edge to the Queichtal view, another viewpoint and resting place. We mostly walk straight and level until we descend steeply left again to the resting place at Burgenblick. From there, we return on the familiar path back to the Mönchsbrunnen in the village center. If the path to Burgenblick is too steep, you can continue straight and return to the starting point past the sports field.

Bäckerei BurkardSafety information
In general:
Especially in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees may still fall, or branches may drop later. In adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you believe certain sections are impassable, you should avoid them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting parties on this platform. However, there may be situations where hiking trails are closed and we have not been informed. If you unexpectedly come across a closed trail or detour, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

Roadbook
The starting point of the Burgunderweg is the Mönchsbrunnen in the center of Gräfenhausen. Initially, the route runs together with the Mönchsweg and the Pfälzer Weinsteig eastward towards Eußerthal. At the edge of the village, the path continues straight into the meadows and vineyards, while the Mönchsweg and Pfälzer Weinsteig turn left. At this junction, there is a beautiful resting place called "Burgenblick" with several benches and tables and a great view of Gräfenhausen and the Palatinate Forest.
We walk along the grazing project Gräfenhausen. Here, aurochs, goats, and donkeys are kept to maintain the old cultural landscape and to prevent the progressive overgrowth of the village outskirts.
Past the Burgunder vineyards, the path goes left and then right uphill to the forest edge. In the forest, the way turns left again, where you have beautiful views of the Queichtal valley and Trifels Castle with Anebos and Scharfenberg (Münz) as well as Gräfenhausen. Then you reach the Mönchsweg again, which leads downhill to Gräfenhausen.
The path is also stroller-friendly. However, it is advisable not to descend the steep path to the Burgenblick on the way back but to continue straight ahead to the sports field. From there, you can also return to the starting point of the route via the village street.
Parking is available at the old schoolyard.
