method to this madness?

A German Weinfest that I found particularly enjoyable was in Enkirch along the Mosel. They had a two-day Fest (I think usually in August) with a Volksmarch (10 or 20 kilometer walk along marked paths). The walks take you up the steep Mosel bluffs to look out over village and vineyards. I usually arranged to stay overnight in nearby Traben-Trarbach following the Fest. The crowd in Enkirch was a more manageable size than say the Bad Kreuznach Weinfest which is a much larger event.
