The Waldviertel region has a long tradition as a source of exceptional textiles. Wirtex, a family-owned business that has been in operation for 160 years, is part of this tradition as Austria’s oldest terry cloth weaving mill.
Immerse yourself in the world of weavers—listen to the rhythmic thumping of the loom, smell the cotton, and feel the different textures...
During an interactive tour of the weaving mill and in the in-house Wirtex cinema, the connection between the towel and the craft becomes clear; visitors are immersed in the soft and cozy world of terry cloth weaving and a rich slice of Waldviertel tradition.
