Participants of the Wolfstein culinary hike can take breaks at six stations along the route on Sunday.

The third annual spring culinary hike in Wolfstein will take place Sunday. Interested hikers can join the walk along the 6 kilometer Panoramaweg, or panorama path, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

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

“We are proud to offer this special event for the third time already,” said Christopher Molter from the organizing event agency. “Last year we welcomed about 1,800 visitors and this year we hope to lure even more.”

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 for €7 that includes a wine glass with a bracket in the city hall’s info point. Hikers can also get their glass filled for €1.50 at each station.

Culinary specialties include: meat skewers, wok dishes, vintners’ pot with bread, bratwurst, game specialties, vintner steaks, salmon from the Finish Kota grill and grilled vegetables with honey mustard dip.

“Hikers will be impressed by this wonderful and amazing countryside,” said Herwart Dilly, mayor of Wolfstein.

“Our famous Panoramaweg offers an awesome view over Wolfstein; its impressive Königsberg mountain massif and its two castles from the Middle Ages.”

At hiking station 1, a Palatinate afternoon with live music will begin at 4 p.m.
and children can have fun in the children’s paradise while getting their faces painted.
