The 4th annual culinary spring hike in Wolfstein will take place Sunday. The hike leads along the 6-kilometer “Panoramaweg,”
or “panorama path,” from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Interested participants can combine hiking with shopping, as local stores and businesses will offer their services in the afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m.

“After our record attendance of 2,500 visitors last year during wonderful weather, we hope to lure even more people to this neat town,” said Christopher Molter from the organizing event agency.

Along the stroller-friendly hiking route, six culinary stations will be put up. Hikers interested in tasting wines from different vintners can buy a wine pass, which includes a wine glass with bracket, for €7 in the city hall’s Info Point, station number one. With this wine pass, participants can have their own wine tasting event and get their glass filled for €1.50 at each station. Visitors who do not drink wine don’t need that pass.
