Eltendorf: Hiking Trails, Art and Uhudler

Eltendorf combines hiking with a distinctive Uhudler theme: an art trail passes eleven art installations on its way through Zahling to the Uhudler cellar district and back. The installations depict the creation of a vintage of Uhudler; in the Uhudler district, visitors can sample wine or a regional snack in old cellars. The municipality’s themed trails also offer further points of interest in nature, art, culture and sport. This makes it easy to choose a focus for your holiday: days on hiking trails, an art-focused outing or discovering Uhudler culture.

Hiking Trails by Theme and Length

There are six themed hiking trails in the municipality of Eltendorf, with sights relating to nature, art, culture and sport. Six trails run around Eltendorf and Zahling, each five to six kilometres long. The themes appeal to different interests, while the lengths also provide a practical framework for planning your day. When choosing a route, you can therefore consider two things side by side: what kind of sight you want to shape your outing, and what length of trail fits into your planned day. This makes the trail itself part of your holiday decision, rather than an activity added only after choosing where to stay.

The Uhudler Art Trail

The Uhudler Art Trail leads from Eltendorf past eleven art installations through the district of Zahling to the Uhudler cellar district and back to Eltendorf. The installations depict the creation of a vintage of Uhudler, giving the walk a thematic connection to the wine produced in Eltendorf. The route includes the return journey, making Eltendorf both its starting and finishing point. The Uhudler art trails also follow different routes from Eltendorf’s town centre directly to Burgenland’s smallest wine-growing area. This gives you two specific route options to consider: the named route through Zahling and the cellar district, returning to Eltendorf, and the various routes from the town centre into the wine-growing area.

Uhudler, the Cellar District and Its Location

The Uhudler district of Eltendorf lies on the southern slope of Hochkogel, around two kilometres above Eltendorf. Visitors can sample wine or a regional snack in the district’s old cellars. You can also try Uhudler at any establishment displaying the distinctive Uhudler flag; tastings are available depending on whether the establishment is open. The old cellars and the establishments marked with the flag are two specific points of interest for anyone interested in regional tastings. The flag serves as a visible sign of the Uhudler on offer; the cellars also offer a regional snack to sample.

Plan Your Stay Around the Area

When looking for a holiday apartment in Eltendorf, the different locations can help you tailor your holiday plans to your interests. The Uhudler art trails start from the town centre, while the Uhudler district lies around two kilometres above Eltendorf. If the routes from the centre or a visit to the district are especially important to you, take this distinction into account when planning. This way, hiking, art and Uhudler can provide the focus you want without conflating the different destinations.
