St. Martin Historic Village

Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of St. Martin is worth a visit at any time of year. Wine bars, vineyards and cafés line up endlessly. It is a pleasure to walk through the town and of course to stop for a drink.

I wanted to go to the beautiful almond blossom festival at the Almond Mile in Edenkoben again, and this was already the third weekend in a row, but previously I either didn't have time or the weather wasn't so encouraging. The almond blossom festival was also taking place in Gimmeldingen this weekend, although I find the one in Edenkoben more …

Despite the weather forecast, the weather remained stable and sunny. But it was very windy, which blew away the business of the poor winegrowers on the almond mile. I was traveling with colleagues who had moved there to give them a better understanding of the area 🙂

It's a shame, we forgot another highlight at km 7.7 is a peace monument. Unfortunately noticed too late 😆

Originally we wanted to hike a little further up the Rietberg. The path was closed due to lime spreading by helicopter, and I learned something new again …
