Through the vines or into the forest?

Directly around Kallstadt you can choose between three circular hiking trails through the vineyards. East of the village, the Burgundy Trail leads through the vineyards on flat terrain. The Riesling and Saumagen trails run to the west on sloping terrain.

But you can also walk from Kallstadt into the forest or set out on a longer vineyard tour. That's why we also suggest circular trails here that either start from Kallstadt or pass through Kallstadt along the way. 

We have listed the individual trails below, the details of the trails are linked directly. However, you can also view a complete overview (for the English translation change languages in the top right corner of the appearing website) right away.
Some tours are not signposted separately. So that you don't lose your way on site, we recommend the official and free tour planner app of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate (manual German language only). Simply download it and get started.
