After a couple of days of inclement weather we decided to escape our cabin fever and take a drive out and boy were we taken by surprise.
Saturday had been a glorious day and we had enjoyed a circular walk through the historic wine trail that was directly opposite our campsite.
The trail made a steady climb through endless vineyards whilst enjoying the views below. Information boards, in German, provided details of the history of the vineyards and the purpose of the trail and the Castellberg Project.
