Route planner

Route planner for your hike and the first two stages of the new Pradikat Long Distance Trail.The Palatinate Weinsteig with a total length of 156.1 km leads directly through Bad Dürkheim.

The Palatinate Weinsteig is a true symbol of the region. The Weinsteig alternately leads on the dreamy paths by the entertaining passsages through vines and sun-drenched stages in the Palatinate.

1. Stage: from Neuleiningen to Bad Dürkheim. The first stage of the Palatinate Weinsteige Hill, the longest of the three new routes called Palatinate Pradikatswanderwege, leads from a beautiful, 750 years old vineyard and village Neuleinigen to the spa town of Bad Dürkheim. By the highest Bismarck Tower you discover also a varied journey to a Germanic cult area as well as a circular rampart from the Celtic times.
2. Stage: from Bad Dürkheim Deidesheim. This stage leads to the picturesque Romer Square in Bad Dürkheim via Poppen and Burgtal to the promising ruins of the Wachten Castle - to our way of thinking it's a pearl of the region you just can't miss.
