Bruchhausen: Wine Cellar and Hiking Trails
Accommodation in Bruchhausen
Bruchhausen combines its wine cellar, a link to local wine production, with hikes to a range of destinations. Trails lead from here to Rheinbreitbach or via Orsberg and the Erpeler Ley to Erpel; another route passes through the place called Auge Gottes on its way to Rheinbreitbach. The town’s history and days spent hiking thus offer concrete starting points for planning your trip. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment, you can use this mix to decide whether it suits the stay you have in mind.
A Wine Cellar with Several Chapters
The Bruchhausen wine cellar was built in 1901 by the Bruchhausen winegrowers’ cooperative. For 30 years, the red wine “Bruchhausener Blümchen” was produced there. Since 1989, local associations have used the cellar for cultural activities. The building thus brings together the local cooperative, a named wine and the associations’ cultural commitment. Anyone interested in the history of winegrowing will find a tangible connection here; the wine cellar complements the hiking themes with a cultural perspective on Bruchhausen.
Hiking Destinations and Routes
Two hikes lead from Bruchhausen to Rheinbreitbach, one of them via the place called Auge Gottes. Another runs from Bruchhausen via Orsberg and the Erpeler Ley to Erpel. Two trails therefore share Rheinbreitbach as their destination, while the route to Erpel passes through two named places. This helps you choose based on your preferred destination and the places along the way.
The Rotbäckchen circular hiking trail also leads to Bruchhausen and along Kirchstraße to St. John the Baptist Church. The focus here is on a church destination in town; the other routes mentioned continue to Rheinbreitbach or Erpel. When looking for a holiday apartment in Bruchhausen, you can therefore consider whether you would rather plan your stay around the town’s history or its different hiking destinations.
