Just some pics from walks we took last weekend around the vineyards. It looks like you can ride around on a horse-drawn buggy:
There are signs on the posts in the vineyards that tell you whose vineyards they are. So we can go out and buy the wine that is growing right outside our front door and see if it's any good (so far, most of the whites and sparkling whites have been excellent ... haven't found a great red yet but have only tried one as this region is known more for whites). We've had a really good white wine made from red grapes though ... just don't remember the name of it. This particular vineyard, Vier Jahreszeiten, is growing Portuguese grapes:
Here is the Flaggenturm that you can see from our apartment and that we walked to the top of our first weekend here:
Here's a view from the vineyards looking towards Bad Dürkheim and our apartment (which is the taller white building on the left under the Flaggenturm). Straight ahead is the Klosterruine Limburgh. You can also see The Wachtenburg castle from our apartment but I couldn't get it in this picture. It's a little to the left:
Here's a closer pic of Klosterruine Limburgh:
And some more vineyards, looking north from Bad Dürkheim:
