Stadecker Spitzberg

Top mountain!

Just like the vineyard name "Horn", "Spitzberg" is also based on the mountain shape. The roots of the vines work their way through fertile loess and heavy clay marl. Hikers can best explore the vineyard via the "Hiwweltour Stadecker Warte". After a short steep climb, the path leads to a pavilion with a magnificent view. The clay marl soil profile allows you to look deep into the earth. The "Stadecker Warte" was already built by the winegrowers in 1933 and extended with a tower in the 1980s.
