Description

Palatinate joie de vivre and a romantic village like in a picture book: Dörrenbach, the "Sleeping Beauty of the Palatinate", was already awarded in 1975 as the most beautiful village on the Southern Wine Route. Stroll past picturesque half-timbered houses, the old town hall in Renaissance style and the historic fortified church, the open-air stage or up to the Kolmerberg chapel or the observation tower on the Stäffelsberg.
