Regional Location:

Rhineland-Palatinate is characterized by the landscapes of the low mountain ranges – the Eifel, Hunsrück, Taunus, and Westerwald in the north; the Palatinate Forest and the Upper Rhine Plain in the south; as well as the major river courses of the Rhine, Moselle, Nahe, and Lahn.

Among the most important road connections in the state, based on their supra-regional significance, are motorways A 1, A 3, A 6, A 60, and A 61, as well as the Hochmoselübergang. The Hochmosel Bridge thus forms an important north–south transit link.

Wachenheim an der Weinstraße, with about 5,000 inhabitants (formerly Wachenheim im Speyergau), is located at the middle Haardt—also known as the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest—in the so-called Wachenheim Valley in the district of Bad Dürkheim, Rhineland-Palatinate. It is especially known for its various wine industry enterprises.

The German Wine Route runs through Wachenheim. To relieve traffic along this route, a bypass was built to the east of Wachenheim, connecting Bad Dürkheim with Neustadt an der Weinstraße.

Among the town’s landmarks is, for example, the ruins of Wachtenburg. Wachenheim is a state-recognized resort town popular as a holiday and wine region.

Neighboring municipalities are Bad Dürkheim, Friedelsheim, Forst an der Weinstraße, and Deidesheim.
