Doctor-Rundweg (city walk)
The famous Doctorweinberg: "Here an electoral prince was made healthy by wine." If this statement could be scientifically proven, the 3.25 hectare vineyard "Bernkasteler Doctor" would be priceless. Because the wine from this vineyard is preceded by the reputation of having cured Elector Boemund in 1360, who at that time lay ill in Landshut Castle and apparently could not be helped. Since then the wine from this vineyard is called so. It is certain, however, that Privy Councillor Julius Wegeler, co-owner of the Deinhard sparkling wine cellars, purchased a plot of land in 1900 at a price of 100 Goldmarks per vine. Since then, the Doctor has been considered the most expensive vineyard in Germany.
Insights into the city walk:
The path leads above the famous Doctor vineyard and past its cellars. It goes up to the St.Joseph's Chapel and the vineyard cottage in the middle of the vineyards from where you can enjoy a wonderful view over Bernkastel. Afterwards it goes on into the city forest and the Kallenfelstal.
