Do you know the Bergstrasse? In the Middle Ages, the Bergstrasse was called 'strata montana', but even the Romans used the route as a trade and military road. It is a landscape favored by the heavens, blessed with a sunny location that brings an early arrival of spring. Already in March, almond, cherry, and peach trees bloom, covering the hills with lush floral splendor, while at the same time, grapevines thrive on the wind-sheltered ridges of the Odenwald. The regional guide takes you from Darmstadt to Heidelberg through the towns of the Bergstrasse, showcasing their picturesque marketplaces, half-timbered houses, and impressive town halls. It provides insights into the variety of historical and cultural landmarks, castles and palaces, wine cultivation, walking paths along the wine landscape, as well as events and festivals. This travel book will pique your curiosity about one of the most beautiful regions.
