The third stop on the Stupferich cultural hiking trail for viticulture in the region.
The Romans already grew wine here. Today, individual vines of the “American” variety are still cultivated and harvested.

The hike began in Stupferich at the Bergleshalle. We hiked past the first information boards in the forest, up to Wengert. At the top we leave the forest and enjoy the orchards with their distant views of the northern Black Forest and the poplar avenue. We passed through the small village of Thomashof and walked along the poplar avenue to …

I didn't know that Stupferich even existed - until I was in the middle of it. I've been there three times now, the last time specifically for this circular route, and invited two friends.
Very easy to reach with bus lines 27 and 47 from Durlach or Karlsruhe Hbf.

On today's tour we are traveling in our Martina's homeland. Unfortunately she left us far too soon. To commemorate this, we were on the Stupferich cultural trail. First through the forest, then across the meadows. After the delicious lunch on the golf course, the sun came out. A cozy group with lots of lovely people.

Since nice weather was forecast for this morning, we drove to Stupferich early in the morning. The goal was the Bergleshalle, our starting point. From here it went almost entirely through the forest around Stupferich. The place always to our left.
After crossing Kleinsteinbacher Straße, we went up to Thomashof, a small town with only a few houses.
We continued …

In 2015, on the occasion of the 300th birthday of the city of Karlsruhe, the local history association Stupferich signposted an almost 10km long circular route around this part of the city. 14 information boards are located along the almost continuously asphalted route, just the right thing for a hike in winter, in bad weather or in bad wintry weather …
