WEINWEG Langenlois

Description

A walk on the WEINWEG Langenlois lets visitors deeply immerse themselves in the daily life and thoughts of winemakers and understand what the work, joys, and worries of winemaker life entail. Visitors get to know the Kamptal wine-growing region, the Langenlois winemakers and wines, and learn various interesting facts about vine cultivation.

The wine-growing themes are supported by sometimes spectacular objects and sculptures: for example, a meter-long earthworm drills through the vineyard and accompanies the topic of soil cultivation, a giant sparkling wine shaker turns into a viewing platform, a swing invites weather observation, and much more.

Route description WEINWEG Langenlois

From Ursin Haus in the center of Langenlois, follow the signs at Kornplatz into Walterstraße. Turn right at the Bründlmayer Heurigerhof and follow the footpath to the LOISIUM WeinWelt. From there, continue on Loisium Allee, at the end of which you enter the vineyard through the "Weintor". Now you walk directly through the rows of vines. At the end of the vineyard, turn left and walk along the paved road until you reach the intersection with Taglergraben. From here, you go uphill past the "Riesenrebschere" and "Kreuzungslabor" until you reach the "Riedenportrait", an oversized picture frame that offers unusual views of the opposite top locations such as the well-known Heiligenstein. From here, follow the paved road for another 200 m and then turn right onto the gravel road. The path now turns left twice until you reach the highest point of the hike on Käferberg. At the sculpture "ohne Titel 2005" by Heimo Zobernig, an impressive iron sphere object seven meters high, resembling a bunch of grapes, turn right. Follow the path along the stone wall to the paved Schilterner Straße. Turn left there and immediately right again. Now you pass the "Riesensektrüttelpult" until you reach the first vineyard hut with a wine safe. Below the hut, the path again leads directly through the vineyard to the second hut. After a short steep section downhill, turn right. At the end of the gravel path, turn right. Go down the "Schenkenbichl" – past the "Wetterschaukel", "Riesenregenwurm" and a stone vineyard hut – enjoy the view once more on a platform and finally turn left onto Zwettler Straße. Along the Loisbach, you reach Kornplatz, only a few minutes from the starting point.
