description
overview
The components of the name Wein and Steig make it clear that the hiking trail links the two main tourist attractions of the Palatinate with one another, namely viticulture on the western edge of the Rhine plain and the largely wooded low mountain range with its uphill and downhill stretches to the west . Over the entire route, the elevation profile shows 4870 vertical meters uphill and 4810 downhill. The lowest point is 116 m in the country town of Deidesheim on the Weinstrasse and the highest is 673 m on the summit of Kalmit , the highest point in the Palatinate Forest.
