A path steeped in history and enjoyment
The Kellerweg, the proud symbol of the wine-growing community of Guntersblum, winds its way west of the village for about one kilometer below the adjacent vineyards. It is divided into two sections: in the south, it leads from the heart of Guntersblum to the historic Julianenbrunnen fountain. In the north, the section with the oldest cellars extends to the edge of the village on Eimsheimer Straße.
Since the eastern parts of Guntersblum were affected by flooding from the Rhine in the 16th century, wine cellars were built in the higher-lying west, partly into the hill and partly under the road. The first cellar was built in 1600, followed later by numerous wine press houses. Today, there are over a hundred such buildings, and some of them are still used for wine pressing. Walking along Kellerweg, you will pass a pretty half-timbered house that was built by the painter Carl Küstner, who was born in Guntersblum, and used as a summer studio.
Every year in August, Kellerweg is transformed into a wine and food mile when the popular Kellerweg Festival takes place.
