A path full of history and enjoyment
The Kellerweg, a proud landmark of the wine-growing community of Guntersblum, meanders about one kilometer long west of the village beneath the adjacent vineyards through the town. It is divided into two sections: In the south, it leads from the heart of Guntersblum to the historic Julianenbrunnen. In the north, the section with the oldest cellars extends to the village boundary at Eimsheimer Strasse.
As the eastern parts of Guntersblum were affected by the Rhine's high water in the 16th century, wine cellars were built in the higher western part, partly into the mountain, partly under the road. The first cellar was created in 1600; later, numerous pressing houses followed. Today, over a hundred such buildings exist, and some are still used for wine pressing.
If you stroll along the Kellerweg, you'll pass by a charming half-timbered house that was built by painter Carl Küstner, who was born in Guntersblum, and used it as a summer studio.
Every year in August, the Kellerweg transforms into a wine and enjoyment mile, as the popular Kellerweg festival takes place then.
