Traisental Wine Journey

The hills around the Korkenzieher lookout tower are among the most beautiful vantage points, offering impressive views over vineyards, river valleys and villages. Austria's longest wine cellar lane, the Ahrenberger and Eichberger Kellergasse near Traismauer, is particularly atmospheric - ideal at sunset or during the grape harvest.

Around Traismauer, culture, nature and history are combined in a very small area: the Danube and Traisen floodplains south of Traismauer are home to peaceful walks and rare bird species. Those interested in culture can visit Traismauer Castle with its town museum, the baroque Herzogenburg Abbey with its art collection or the magnificent Walpersdorf Castle, where design and craftsmanship meet history. The provincial capital of St. Pölten with its old town, museums and cultural district is also just a few kilometres away.

Traisental DAC stands for proven origin and clear stylistics. Only Grüne Veltliner and Riesling that reflect the cool climate and chalky soils are authorised to bear this designation of origin. Fresh, elegant and mineral - this is what authentic Traisental tastes like.

Some wine taverns, such as Winzerhaus Hans Schöller or Weingut Haimel, offer meat-free specialities.

Traisental is easily and environmentally friendly accessible by train and bus. There is an hourly REX train from Vienna via St. Pölten to Traismauer (journey time approx. 1 hour). There is also a direct connection from Krems an der Donau. From St. Pölten, regional buses continue to Herzogenburg, Inzersdorf-Getzersdorf or Reichersdorf - ideal for excursions to the wineries or starting points of wine hiking trails. Many wine taverns and viewpoints can also be reached from Traismauer train station by a short cycle or walk.

St. Pölten is well worth a detour when it rains. With its numerous cosy coffee houses, restaurants and cultural offerings, the city is perfect for a city trip in any weather.

The farm shop G'sundes Eck in Traismauer offers regional food, high-quality natural cosmetics, gift boxes and handicrafts. DAC wines full of character and small gift packages from the Traisental await you at the Preiß winery. Fruit juices from the Traisental can be found at Obsthof & Weingut Altenriederer, Bio-Weingut Viktor Fischer and Bio-Obsthof Lindner. Wines from the Traisental can be tasted at the Dam Winery wine shop.
