Winningen: Home of the Weinhex

by Rhondaj - last update: Aug 4, 2008

Traube, traube, everywhere traube
In the 17th century, this area was notorious for its witch hunts. Located on the Mosel, Winningen is full of witches; a fountain, wood carving, souvenir dolls, witches hanging here, there, everywhere.
The July day we visited Winningen, there was a witch festival in progress.
In late August, Germany's oldest wine festival is celebrated here.

Pros:"grapevines cover everything!, pretty village"
Cons:"i think if a festival wasn't going on, this place would be very 'sleepy'"

 A witch festival, sounds interesting. And I also would rather eat Apfelkuchen than Ragout Fin (only ate it once, but without veal brain at least)!
