Description
The 351-metre-high Heiligenstein, which is world-famous for its Rieslings, is easily accessible from Zöbing. The tour leads through mixed deciduous forests and wine terraces. Once at the top, the historic Kamp Valley ("Kamptal" in German) lookout offers a magnificent view over Zöbing, Langenlois and the lower Kamp Valley ("Kamptal" in German) as far as the Danube valley. On fine days, you can even see the peaks of Schneeberg and Ötscher on the horizon.
