Walking with luggage transfer along the Weinstraße, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany

We have walked and enjoyed several stages of the Weinsteig a slightly tougher version of the German Weinstraße route. The 165km long route starts just over the border from the French town of Wissembourg and proceeds along the edge of the hills bordering the Rhine to Neuleiningen through Neustadt an der Weinstraße and Bad Dürkheim. The excellent Kleins Wanderreisen offer a 14 day trip for just over €800 pp for two people sharing a room with bed and breakfast in hotels and vintners accommodation, with luggage transfer starting each Sunday. If you want to book your own accommodation Gepäckservice Pfalz will arrange luggage transfer for €20 for one or two persons.
