Observe Nature and Experience the Landscape Mindfully

Together with the meadows, vineyards and viewpoints, this creates a varied picture of the landscape around Weiden am See. For families, the combination of playground, bathing beach and short discoveries can be particularly appealing; those who prefer longer distances can follow the longer hiking trails.

Winegrowing and History in Weiden am See

Winegrowing in Weiden am See has a tradition dating back more than 2,500 years. One specific historical reference dates to 1617: at that time, the production of Ausbruch wine was recorded in a tithe register of the Raab Cathedral Chapter. It is considered the world’s oldest record of the production of quality wine with a predicate. This gives the wine hiking trail an additional cultural dimension, as the landscape and the history of winemaking are connected without limiting the route to a single theme.

One of the municipality’s significant sights today is also the Schüttkasten. The building was constructed in 1824 for storing grain. Those interested in the architectural and economic history of the village can include the Schüttkasten as another cultural highlight in their travel plans.
