Discover Weinstadt: Wine, Orchards and Cycling Routes

Weinstadt combines winegrowing, orchards, historic sites and cycling routes. The town is located in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, around 15 kilometres east of Stuttgart, and is part of the Stuttgart Region. You can choose different focuses when planning your trip: insights into the cultural landscape, traces of local history or a longer cycling tour. What matters most to you depends on whether you would rather explore individual places or plan a route.

Orchards in Schnait

The orchard trail in Weinstadt-Schnait starts at the car park of the Schnait community hall. Several information boards explain the orchards and give the route a focus on the landscape. These meadows also serve as a local recreation area and as a habitat and refuge for animals and plants. Those interested in the cultural landscape will find both information about the orchards and insight into their importance as recreational and natural areas.

Baach and its historic traces

Baach is a small hamlet in Weinstadt whose history is linked to two mills. The place was first mentioned in writing in the 14th century. Baach has preserved an arched bridge, probably dating from the 18th century, and several Baroque half-timbered houses. The bridge’s date is stated cautiously, while the half-timbered houses show another architectural facet of the place. In Baach, early written records, the history of the mills and preserved buildings thus offer different ways to explore local history.

Experience wine and discover cellar culture

At Luitenbächer Höhe, visitors can experience wines where they are produced. At Remstalkellerei in Weinstadt, wine matures in Baden-Württemberg’s largest wooden-cask cellar. A tour held as part of Museum Night included a wine tasting beside large oak casks. If this event is important to your trip, check the dates in advance. These points of interest offer different perspectives: at Luitenbächer Höhe, the focus is on experiencing wines where they are produced, while the cellar and the Museum Night tour connect wine with cask ageing and an event setting.

The Remstal Cycle Route from Endersbach

The Remstal Cycle Route starts right at Endersbach railway station in Weinstadt. From Weinstadt, the route passes through the wine-growing landscape via Kernen and Fellbach to Remseck am Neckar, then continues along the Rems to Aalen. It is around 106 kilometres long. The route therefore extends beyond the town itself and connects several places along the Rems Valley. The cycle route received a four-star rating as an ADFC quality route and later became a long-distance cycle route in the state of Baden-Württemberg. For planning, you therefore have a specific starting point, the approximate total length and the sequence of places mentioned.

Hiking trails in the wider Rems-Murr district destination

If you would like to extend your plans to the wider Rems-Murr district destination, two longer hiking trails can be compared by route and length. The RemstalWeg is 215 kilometres long and leads through varied landscapes to viewpoints and historic settlements in the valley. The Rems-Murr-Wanderweg covers 50 kilometres and can be hiked in three stages from Endersbach via Winnenden to Murrhardt. You do not need a car to reach the entire Rems-Murr-Wanderweg, as it is well served by local public transport. Check current connections for your travel dates. The comparison can help with planning: the RemstalWeg is the longer route, while the Rems-Murr-Wanderweg is described as a three-stage trail.
