Destillatweg "Kirschwasser"

Knowledge trails around Pfedelbach - from fruit to bottle: hike, learn and taste!

"Kirschwasser" distillate trail around Windischenbach and Lindelberg.

The landscape in and around Pfedelbach is strongly characterized by wine and fruit growing. Distilling fruit is an ancient privilege that is often passed down from generation to generation in distilling families. In Pfedelbach, with around 140 registered distilling rights, this tradition is supported by an unusually high number of active distilleries. The distilling rights serve to utilize the orchard fruit to cover costs and at the same time preserve the beautiful Hohenlohe orchards and ensure an open and unique cultural landscape. In addition, the variety of fruit species and varieties from the intensive orchards with pome, stone and soft fruit forms the basis for a wide range of products.

The municipality of Pfedelbach and interested self-marketers joined forces in 2015 to develop two main routes around Oberohrn and Windischenbach as well as two connecting routes through and north of Pfedelbach. Along these varied routes, you will learn all kinds of interesting facts about fruit, distillates, viticulture and ecological topics. You can visit distilleries, taste samples, purchase regional products and, in many cases, stop for a bite to eat at some of the self-marketers located on or near the distillery trails, as well as at the Hohenlohe winery.
