Dorn-Dürkheimer Hasensprung

Of prehistoric horses, saber-toothed tigers and hares 

The hare gave its name to the single location. Moreover, the Middle High German word "spring/sprung", which has nothing to do with hopping, but means "spring". Hare, deer, fox, badger certainly roam the area between the three villages Dorn-Dürkheim, Wintersheim and Hillesheim. And yet there were once quite wondrous animals here: prehistoric horses, rhinoceroses or saber-toothed tigers. The found remains of 80 vertebrate species are about 8.5 million years old and thus belong to the age of the "Turolium". There is no more significant fossil site of this phase in all of Europe! A local artist donated to the community, among other things, a three-meter-high marble evolutionary column, which can be visited at any time. A wide variety of vines thrive on loess.

Weingut Knobloch

The winemaker's enthusiasm is in every bottle of wine.
philosophy
If you want to be good, you have to get better. This guiding principle accompanies the work at the winery Knobloch. Nothing is left to chance here: the grapes - aromatic fruits with subtle, delicate acidity and tingling freshness become a real taste experience. For 300 years, the Knobloch family has taken care of this with patience, a lot of feeling and an open-mindedness to modernity. These are exactly what you will find in the modern ambience of the winery: the wine shop, the enchanting garden and the small, fine country hotel. A tip: The rich breakfast buffet with fresh regional products can also be enjoyed by guests who do not stay at the Landhotel.
particularities
For all those who have time to bring: The Knobloch family offers an unforgettable day program with a champagne reception followed by a ride in the covered wagon into the vineyards. There you will find delicious homemade cakes and coffee. Back in the winery, the day ends in the wine shop with a wine tasting and Rheinhessen specialties.
