Tourist Information i-Punkt Kallstadt, Weinstraße 111

From the Square of 100 Wines, opposite St. Salvator Church, walk along Leistadter Straße to the end of the village, where you turn left into Backhausgasse. You are now on the Riesling hiking trail (blue stele with yellow wine glass). Follow this path around the small lake and up the hill. Here you can already see the excavation site "Villa am Weilberg". Turn left towards the Roman vineyard and, above the excavation site, turn right towards the west with a view of the Palatinate Forest. Cross the road (attention: no crossing aid) and continue straight on past the Annaberg hotel/restaurant (refreshment stop).You are now on the Bad Dürkheim circular trail "Pfalz Wein Pfade Pfälzerwald - Spielbergblick" (marking: trail logo with amphora). Follow this to the Dürkheim Wurstmarktplatz with its giant barrel and saltworks. On your way back, use the pedestrian crossing at the roundabout and walk past the petrol station, left up the hill to the Michaelskapelle.The markings lead you back via the Michaelskapelle chapel in a steady but moderate up and down northerly direction. Shortly after the path meets the road, you turn right and reach the Römerkelter and then the Roman villa again, this time from below. You go left uphill to the excavation site and meet the junction of the path that led you from Kallstadt. The route back is the same as the outward route via the Kallstadt lake and Backhausgasse to the starting point, the tourist information office at the Platz der 100 Weine.
