Sitzendorf an der Schmida

Sitzendorf an der Schmida in the district of Hollabrunn is a typical wine-growing and feel-good town that invites you to take a relaxing break in the Waldviertel: During an extended walk through the numerous picturesque wine cellar lanes, tangy wines beckon at the wine tavern - or in the wine cellar at the winegrower's himself. In addition, natural attractions and historical sights invite you to look and marvel.

It's no wonder that many day-trippers are only too happy to stay longer. Comfortable accommodation is quickly found among the numerous traditional wineries and inns.
