Brackenheim has a beautiful old town and is one of the award-winning wine villages of the Weinsüden region. A true highlight on the Württemberg Wine Cycle Route. The German Wine World, a magnificent museum dedicated to wine, will open in the historic castle in summer 2026.

If the Besen is open, it's worth stopping here. A glass of wine or a liqueur to finish.
