What to do there

AdventureBaden Wine Route CyclingThe Kaiserstuhl is a 16-million-year-old dead volcano in the warmest corner of Germany. The terraced stone walls you cycle past are not agricultural — they're the cut-stone corpse of a magma chamber. Dr. Heger was a country physician who bought a vineyard as a hobby in 1935; his granddaughters now run a VDP estate. Federweißer — available six weeks per year in September — cannot legally leave Germany because the bottle would explode in transit. The Cistercian monks who invented the terroir concept at Clos Vougeot crossed the Rhine and planted these same slopes 700 years ago.
