Project summary: 

Winegrowing on the steep slopes of the Wingertsberg, Rhineland-Palatinate is typically labour-intensive and time-consuming. As a result many winegrowers abandoned the tradition. The vineyard terraces lay fallow and rare animal and plant species were threatened. A land consolidation process has helped to counteract this development.

Project results: 

The project made it possible to redesign a 15 hectare vineyard in such a way that it can be used again for viticulture and that its value in terms of nature conservation is safeguarded.
