Viticulture has a long tradition in Weinsberg. This is of course reflected in the surrounding region. On this section you walk through the romantic vineyards and have a beautiful view of the city of Heilbronn.

Weinsberg Big Bench

Highlight • Monument

Great "giant bench" - when you sit on it you feel really small, as if you had shrunk. A very nice and funny idea.

A very nice loop around Weinsberg, with a great view of Heilbronn. Pleasant inclines. We had to deviate from the path at one point due to a road closure.

Tour, without the faithful women, we saved ourselves the tour around the castle ruins at the end. Otherwise very nice, varied and not very muddy round.

Beautiful tour from A-Z without many other people. I replaced the section at the Jägerhaus, which is included in the original WT 1 route, with the great quarry path directly opposite. This does add a few meters, but it is definitely more than worth it. The quarry at the Jägerhaus is simply beautiful and varied at any time of the …

Nice excursion into nature on Saturday lunchtime. I already walked the tour in the other direction in the summer. The change of perspective also has something of its own.
At one point there were some trees over the path. Over it, under it or running around was the order of the day.
Overall, a nice, varied hike that is absolutely …

Today was a very special day 🥰 - I was able to enjoy time with my dad in nature and show him what hiking can really mean. The route took us through beautiful landscapes, past great viewpoints and over varied paths. But much more important than the route itself was the shared experience - the conversations, the laughter and the …

Today we went on this wonderful tour in the Heilbronner Land to end our holiday.
From asphalt through the vineyards, rooty paths, beautiful meadow paths, wide forest paths - it was all there and it was a perfect mix in perfect hiking weather.
I was particularly fascinated by the peace and quiet in the heath. I took a break here …
