Your guest card represents your ticket to unrestricted mobility and plenty of additional services and advantages right from the start of your stay. With your guest card, you can go on excursions through charming fruit orchards and vineyards… take part in fascinating guided tours through herbal gardens… or climb to the top of towering church towers: There is a wide range of offerings for you to choose from!
Good to know: The guest cards are linked to your vacation accommodation. Depending upon the type of accommodation and its specific customer orientation, these no-charge services may include advantages provided by the "mobil&activ Card" and/or the "WinePass."
