From the centre of the Kraichgau wine region, the route now heads back towards the Rhine.
The stage leads past vineyards and orchards through cosy villages such as Kürnbach, Tiefenbach, Zeutern and Rauenberg to Wiesloch. In the "Schwarzriesling village" of Kürnbach at the start of the stage, you can discover the Kraichgau speciality.
From Ravensburg Castle near Sulzfeld, you can look out over the hilly landscape. Other recommended stops: the Roman Museum in Stettfeld and the Wine Museum in Rauenberg Castle.
