The Biblical Wine Trail leads along easily passable, level paths, which can also be easily mastered by people with a handicap. The first four stelae (Grape Vine and Bible, The Tree of Life, Vineyard - People of God, The Boar) are each on the left of the path directly behind the Lady Chapel. The fifth stele (Jesus - the Vine) is a little further on the right side. After that the path turns to the left. Just before the highway there is the sixth stele (Water of Life - Blood of the Vine), where the path then turns left. Shortly after, the path turns left again to the seventh stele (Danger of Life). To the eighth stele (peace) it goes straight on. Then the path turns right to the ninth stele (Wine and Love). On the right side of the path you will find the tenth and eleventh stele (The Wedding of Cana, the Last Supper). At the Lebanon cedar, the path turns left again towards the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. Just before the chapel is the last stele (Heaven).

Mittlel langer Spaziergang durch Weinberge und Flur. Gut gemachte religiös-weltliche Audiobegleitung. Geeignet für Kinderwagen, da alle Wege, außer dem Abstecher zum Nickelsee, entweder asphaltiert oder betoniert sind. Bei sonnigem Wetter im Frühling und Sommer ist eine Kopfbedeckung empfohlen, da es bis auf die einzelnen Rastplätze keine Beschattung gibt. Der Weg führt bis auf ca. 30 m an die Autobahn heran. Beim Catharinenbild ist der Verkehrslärm stark hörbar.
