Hotels in Pfalz, Germany

Pfalz is a wine region in southwest Germany, famous for its Riesling vineyards and the 85-kilometer German Wine Route-the oldest wine route in the world. The climate is continental, with warm summers perfect for hiking the Palatinate Forest's marked trails (like the 12-kilometer Felsenland Sagenweg) and mild springs ideal for cycling past blooming almond trees. In winter, you can tour historic wine cellars in Bad Dürkheim, while fall brings harvest festivals where local vintners pour Spätburgunder; pack a jacket for October's 50°F (10°C) evenings.
