Saxon Wine Route Trail Proves There’s More To Drink In Germany Than Beer

The visions of a trip to Germany drinking beer out of huge steins in which natives consume brews for lunch in biergartens are are accurate.

But there’s more than beer in Germany. There are wines and wineries and the Saxon Wine Route is proof of it.

Located outside of Dresden, the Saxon Wine Route is a 56-mile (90-kilometer) wine trail along the Elbe river. Along it are beautiful towns, castles, forests and a narrow-gauge stream railway.

And here’s what’s unique about it: it’s just a 20=minute train ride from Dresden, and you can hike through the vineyards and to the many Straußwirtschaftens (wine taverns). Not only that, one stretch of the Elbe Cycle Route runs almost alongside the Saxon Wine Trail. A popular way to experience the Saxon Wine Route is to break it into six different stages; each are 15 to 18 kilometres and take five to six hours to walk.

The wines are Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Traminer grapes to make award-wining, fruity and dry wines. The region is particularly known for its white wines. There are also the sweet Rieslings.
