Maps and trails
Geographically, Venningen lies between the Palatinate Forest in the west and the Rhine plains in the east. The idyllic landscape is characterised by rolling hills, picturesque vineyards and historic buildings from past centuries.

Of particular relevance to tourism are the many wineries in the area, which are happy to invite their guests to tastings. A particularly popular sight is Villa Ludwigshöhe Castle with its impressive panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

Cultural highlights are offered by regularly held concerts and theatre performances as well as the annual wine festival in September. Here you can not only taste excellent local wines, but also enjoy typical specialities such as Saumagen or Leberknödel.

Outdoor activities are not neglected in Venningen either: in spring and summer, hiking and cycling trails invite you to explore the region on your own. In autumn, the grape harvest beckons - here you even have the opportunity to take part in a grape harvest yourself!

If it should rain, there are still enough activities to pass the time pleasantly: For example, how about a visit to the Speyer Museum of Technology or the nearby Kurpfalz Park?

It is particularly beautiful in Venningen in spring, when the almond trees are in bloom and a delicate fragrance wafts through the village. Autumn, too, with its golden vineyards and colourful leaves, offers a picturesque backdrop.

So, all in all, Venningen is a destination for all those who long for peace and relaxation but also have a desire for cultural highlights as well as culinary discoveries. A travel guide would certainly not be out of place here!

    Eine sehr schöne Runde mit tollen Waldpfaden, gemütliche Einkehr Möglichkeiten da werden aus einer 3,5h Tour dann gleich mal 6h, hat uns aber Spaß gemacht, diese Runde ist empfehlenswert.

    Eine super Tour mit sehr vielen angenehm zu laufenden Pfaden. Vom Schweizer Haus bis zur Retsina-Hütte ca. 1.3 km Schotterweg Bis auf die Hotspots Schloss Ludwigshöhe, Wildgehege und Ruine Rietberg sehr einsam Einige Bänke zum Rasten sind vorhanden Fazit: Eine Pfalzwanderung in Reinkultur, sehr zu empfehlen

    Sehr nette Tour, hübsche Wege, aber man muss immer wieder aufpassen, nicht falsche Anzwegungen zu nehmen, was uns mehrfach passiert ist. Schön finde ich die Mischung aus Wald und Weingärten. Warnung vor den Kuchen und Torten auf der Edenkobener Hütte: die Stücke sind riesig und gigantisch gut. Danach verblasst alles andere...

    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.

    Uns hat die Tour sehr gut gefallen, hoher schöner Pfadanteil. Haben die Tour durchs Edenkobener Tal begonnen, da ist etwas schlecht ausgeschildert .Mit der abfotografierten Karte war es jedoch gut machbar. Aus der Richtung hat man lange aber leichte Anstiege bis zum Ludwigsturm. Für nicht ganz so fitte Wanderer ist die Runde andersrum mit der Seilbahn hoch eine sehr gute alternative. Man verpasst dann die schöne Aussicht, aber von der Burg ist die viel schöner.
