Get to know the place
The Vale da Felicidade is a tourist region in Rio Grande do Sul linked to the Vale do Rio Caí. Linha Nova is the municipality included in this guide selection. The visit combines the heritage of German immigration, rural scenery and the history of beer production.
The Parque Municipal Georg Heinrich Ritter and the Heimathaus are good starting points for getting to know Linha Nova. The preservation of the house and its memory helps explain why the municipality is recognized as the Cradle of Breweries in Rio Grande do Sul.
A stop on the Rota Romântica can include Linha Nova, but the local interest deserves its own program. Between visiting the heritage sites and a brewery experience, leave time for the gardens and valley landscapes, with reception arranged at the inland establishments.
This destination brings together 1 city: Linha Nova.
One destination, many paths
Start with one city or combine several in your itinerary.
Use Aeroporto Salgado Filho as the entry point via the state capital and continue by road to Linha Nova. BR-116 can be part of the route along the Rota Romântica; reaching the municipality requires local connections. Check the address of your accommodation and Parque Georg Heinrich Ritter before determining the final access.
Before you go
A little planning leaves more time to enjoy the journey.
Choose to visit Linha Nova according to the Heimathaus schedule and available brewery experiences. Clear days favor the gardens and rural routes. In cold months, also book an indoor activity rather than relying solely on walks.
Two days in Linha Nova allow you to devote the first to the Heimathaus and Parque Georg Heinrich Ritter and the second to a scheduled brewery visit and the rural scenery. A day trip should concentrate the program in the town center, without assuming spontaneous visits will be possible at the properties.
Staying in Linha Nova lets you complete the local program without returning to another city after the brewery visit. Check directly which establishments accept guests and how to reach them. If you are already travelling the Rota Romântica, keep your base on that route only if the travel times allow you to get to the scheduled activity.
Take your trash with you, follow the signs and support local businesses. In natural areas, follow the visiting guidelines.
Get your questions answered
The recognition is tied to the memory of beer production and to Georg Heinrich Ritter. The Heimathaus and the municipal park help to learn that history.
Prioritize Parque Municipal Georg Heinrich Ritter and the Heimathaus, depending on visiting availability. A brewery experience should only be included after confirming reception.
They are distinct tourist regions in the state register. Linha Nova belongs to Vale da Felicidade, although it can be combined with towns from Vale Germânico on a trip along the Rota Romântica.
Check with the chosen establishment about visits and tastings. The town's brewing tradition does not mean every production unit receives visitors on any given day.
