Aspach brings together winegrowing, hiking and cultural sites in a variety of ways. Highlights range from a multi-part video presentation at the historic Torkel press in Kleinaspach to the Wine Hiking Trail and the 25-kilometre Aspach Panorama. In Rietenau, there is also an audio trail and a local history museum; in Großaspach, the Christmas market traditionally takes place on the weekend of the second Sunday in Advent. You can plan your trip around different interests: the history of winegrowing, hiking routes, cultural insights or a seasonal event.

Winegrowing, Wine Presses and Places to Stop

At the historic Torkel press in Kleinaspach, a multi-part video presentation explores topics related to winegrowing. These include wine processing and work in the vineyards, as well as the Torkel press and the pressing process. The presentation also covers wine festivals in Aspach and leisure activities and educational trails in Aspach. It therefore offers an overview of everything from winegrowing processes to festivals and leisure activities.

The press in Allmersbach am Weinberg offers a different perspective on the past: it dates from the late 18th century. Together, the two presses provide different points of interest for anyone interested in the history of winegrowing: the video presentation in Kleinaspach covers topics and processes, while the press in Allmersbach am Weinberg is set in context by its period of origin.

Rest areas are among the amenities on the Aspach Wine Hiking Trail, inviting you to stop and linger. There are also places to eat along the route and opportunities to sample wine with complementary dishes. If you would like to combine a hike with breaks, you will find both places to rest and places to stop for a meal. These options relate to the Wine Hiking Trail and should not be assumed to be available on the Aspach Panorama.

Hiking and Cycling on the Aspach Panorama

The Aspach Panorama is a 25 km hiking trail divided into a western route and an eastern route. Shorter sections and shortcuts are possible, giving you the flexibility to choose between the full route and a shorter hike. For route guidance before setting off, consult local route information.

The trail can be started at several hiking car parks, car parks and stops on bus route 367. If you plan to travel by bus, check the latest services before setting off, as bus details may change. The Aspach Panorama also has suitable routes for cycling. Hiking and cycling are two different ways to explore the route area.

Cultural Sites and Events

The Rietenau audio trail starts and ends at the Rietenau music hall on Trinkgasse. This gives you the same clearly named reference point for both the start and finish. Another cultural site in Rietenau is the local history museum. It displays tools, documents and photographs, and hosts special exhibitions on the ground floor. The museum opens during events. If you are planning a visit, check the specific event dates.

The Aspach Christmas market is a seasonal event. It traditionally takes place on the weekend of the second Sunday in Advent, around Backnanger Straße in Großaspach. As the exact dates vary from year to year, check the dates for your travel year before making plans.

You can pick up a free brochure for the GUcK Tour at Großaspach Town Hall. It can help with planning your trip; a visit to the town hall can be considered separately from the hiking trails and cultural sites in Rietenau.
