     connoisseurs & nature lovers
     Romantic wine trail
     The Württemberg wine trail links together the wine-
     growing regions between Tauber and Neckar. From
     Alb in Bavarian Franconia, the trail runs through
     the Tauber Valley into the Hohenlohe Plain, at 470
     km is the longest theme trail in Germany. Our
     recommendation is the wine-reading trail from
     Marbach, the birthplace of Schiller, along the Bott-
     wartal Valley. Draw inspiration from the boards
     along the edge of the path featuring literary quotes
     from famous authors.
