    Wir haben heute die Tour gemacht bei herrlichen Wetter. Die Aussichten einfach grandios. Der Weg ist gut beschildert, sodass man sich nicht verlaufen kann. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen. .

    Wir sind am Bahnhof von Osthofen gestartet und die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung gefahren. Dadurch war in den Weinbergen der Anstieg auf den Kloppberg sehr moderat. Der Mühlenweg geht ein Stück an der Autobahn, durch eine Baumreihen getrennt, aber trotzdem etwas laut. Die kurzen Verbindungsstücke auf den wenig befahrenen Landstraßen waren unproblematisch. Im ganzen eine abwechslungsreiche Tour mit tollen Ausblicken.

    Schöne Wanderung durch die Wingert bei Westhofen. Wege sind weitgehend ungeteerte Wirtschaftswege. An den Sonnenschutz denken - der Weg Ist unbeschattet. Jetzt im späten Frühjahr blühen der Mohn und andere Blumen am Wegesrand.

    Ein sehr sonnige Tour durch die Weinberge mit weitem Blick in den Wonnegau zum Donnersberg sowie Pfälzer Wald, Odenwald und nördlichen Schwarzwald der durch die vielen historischen liebevoll gepflegten Trulli (>14) mit vorbildlicher prägnanten Beschriftung sehr erlebnisreich wird und mit dem malerischen Dorfkern abgerundet wird. An nicht zu heißen sonnigen Tagen als durch die Weinbergsheisjer abwechsellungsreiche Weinbergwanderung sehr zu empfehlen.

    Aussichtsreicher Rundweg mit herrlichem Panorama. Auserdem lernt man etwas über die historischen Häuser. Gut geeignet auch im Winter. Gutes Schuhwerk einpacken. Häuser laden zur Rast und Picknick ein.
