Far-reaching views over castels, vineyards and forests

The days are getting longer and milder. The buds on bushes and trees are starting to open; the grass is starting to grow and the meadow flowers to blossom. The hike from Walzenhausen down to Lutzenberg and back via Zelg not only brings you the joys of spring and wide-ranging views, but also some history. What is the story behind Weinberg Castle, and who once fought over the Alt-Rheineck fortress? And you can also laugh along a section of the famous Witzweg (joke trail).
