Discover the region

places to eat and drink
Gönnheim's history dates back to the Middle Ages, which is reflected in the architecture of its historic buildings. The town is known for its vineyards and wineries as well as the annual wine festivals such as the Gönnheim Winzerfest or the Advent market.

Sights relevant to tourism include Wachtenburg Castle with its breathtaking view over the region as well as the 12th century St. James Church. Cultural highlights include the Gönnheim Museum of Local History or the arts and crafts market on the church square.

Culinary specialities include regional specialities such as Saumagen (a type of stuffed pork stomach) or liver dumplings with sauerkraut - served, of course, together with a delicious glass of Riesling wine from the surrounding area!

The best outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, there are numerous hiking trails through the Palatinate Forest, cycling along the Rhine or water sports activities on the nearby Silbersee bathing lake. In winter, the forest is ideal for skiing and cross-country skiing.

Even in rainy weather there is plenty to do! Visit the thermal baths in Bad Dürkheim or take a tour of the town's underground wine cellars.

And where is the most beautiful? That depends on personal preference, of course, but a walk through the vineyards at sunset offers an unforgettable view of this beautiful region.

Gönnheim, Bad Dürkheim district - definitely a destination for every taste and every season. Don't miss the chance to discover this jewel in the heart of Germany!

    Ich bin den Teil zwischen Neustadt und Wachenheim gefahren zur der Mandelblüte. die nimmt die Tour voll mit. Die Tour folgt allerdings auf dem Hinweg nach Wachenheim nicht durchgehend eine Markierung. Daher muß man nach Navi fahren. Auf dem Rückweg bin ich etwas anders gefahren, da ich nicht entlang der Straße fahren wollte.

    Gemütlich auf Wirtschaftswegen auf und ab durch Weinberge abseits von Straßen (wenn man ab und an von der Route abweicht) mit schöner Aussicht aber auch kaum Schatten. Als Pause auf halber Strecke bietet sich ein Abstecher in Alex Wein Lounge in Herxheim an!

    Klasse Runde mit vielen schönen Aussichten und Sehenswertem, liebevoll ausgearbeitete Streckenführung mit tollen Trails, die Schotterwege bergab fand ich allerdings von der Länge her etwas zu viel mit dem Crosser, da hätte ich mir mehr schmale Pfade gewünscht...

    Haben die Tour von Neustadt -> Rodt -> Landau über Essingen nach Neustadt gemacht (ca. 52km). Die Wege sind sehr gut befahrbar, auf dem Hinweg konnten wir Radweg schildern folgen auf dem Rückweg von Landau über Essingen war das GPS sehr nützlich. Man fährt durch Weinberge, Felder, nette Dörfer und in Bornheim konnten wir sogar ein Storchennest sehen. Der alte verwidlerte jüdische Friedhof in Essingen war auch ein Highlight. Sehr gut Rastmöglichkeien in den den Orten entlang der Strecke. Kurze Teilabschnitte waren auf der Hauptstraße die aber nicht zu stark befahren war, kurze Abschnitte auf Schotter. Der Hauptteil der Strecke warnen geteerte Forstwege.

    Wir sind den Weg innerhalb von 2 Tagen mit unserer 11 Jährigen Tochter geradelt. Da die Tour fast keine Höhenmeter besitzt war es kein Problem. Bei grosser Hitze würden wir die Strecke nicht empfehlen da über grosse Distanzen der Schatten fehlt.

    Sehr schöne gut zu fahrende Tour. Ich habe sie mit meinem E - Mountainbike gefahren, lässt sich aber auch mit jedem anderen Fahrrad fahren. Immer wieder wunderschöne Aussichten und Rastmöglichkeiten. Wege sind geteert oder fester Schotter. Im Grunde ganzjährig zu befahren. Natürlich aber besonders schön zur Trauben Lese Zeit.
