Discover Enzersfeld in the Weinviertel

Enzersfeld in the Weinviertel reveals its distinctive character through its cellar lanes, historically documented viticulture and a landscape that can be explored on foot. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Enzersfeld in the Weinviertel can plan their stay according to their own interests: traditional wine culture, historic sacred buildings, seasonal festivals and a short circular hiking trail are the main highlights.

Cellar lanes and viticulture as defining experiences

The cellar lanes shape the landscape of Enzersfeld. There are a total of eight cellar lanes with more than 200 press houses and forecourts. This means that you will encounter not just individual historic buildings here, but a characteristic ensemble of the local wine culture. Viticulture in Enzersfeld is documented as early as 1343: at that time, new vineyards in “Engelschalichsveld” were mentioned.

Visitors can explore the cellar lanes on foot along marked paths. For a deeper encounter with this cultural heritage, guided tours by certified cellar-lane guides are recommended. This adds the history and significance of the press houses and forecourts to the walk, without limiting the experience to a simple circuit.

Festivals throughout the year

If you would like to plan your stay around a local tradition, the recurring festivals provide a special occasion. The Kellerfest, held every May in the Enzersfeld cellar lanes, includes wine tastings by local vintners and winegrowers. In October, the annual “stürmisch staubige” Hallo-Wein festival follows. Sturm, Staubiger and the first young wine of the new vintage are tasted there. The two dates offer different highlights in the wine-growing year and can be taken into account when planning your trip.

Historic places and distinctive details

A good starting point for the cellar lanes is Pappelspitz. The triangular plot was created in 2008 as a naturally designed 25,000 m² entrance area to the cellar lanes. The Church of Maria Geburt is also part of the history of the village. It was built in 1681 from an earlier chapel; this chapel was retained as the presbytery or high altar area. The Baroque high altar from the old church is now the Marian altar.

Further individual sights add to the sacred and historic character of the area. The Calvary group east of Enzersfeld parish church was erected around 1720 and renovated in 2015. The plague column on Korneuburger Straße is also one of Enzersfeld’s sights. Below the Maria Lourdes Chapel, you will also find the “Tettenhauerbründl” spring, which flows continuously.

A circular trail for a manageable hike

The Riedenweg is ideal as an active addition to culture and viticulture. The circular hiking trail is 4 km long and takes around 60 minutes to walk. Take these details into account when planning your day and choose your accommodation based on the highlights you would like to combine during your stay: a hike, a visit to historic sites or an exploration of the cellar lanes.
