Eichenbrunn

Eichenbrunn combines a distinctive wine cellar lane, traces of church history and unusual local features with opportunities for active and relaxing holiday days. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Eichenbrunn can plan their stay according to their interests, focusing on culture, hiking or shared discoveries with children.

Wine cellar lane and parish church as distinctive local features

One prominent destination is the Trift wine cellar lane. It is laid out as a double-sided individual wine cellar lane in a ditch and leads away from the village in a southwesterly direction. Over a length of 500 metres, it comprises 93 cellar structures. This makes it a clearly recognisable local feature for anyone who wants to discover not only the landscape on their trip, but also traditional settlement and wine cellar architecture.

The parish church of St. Coloman also preserves notable details. Its interior contains two Baroque oil paintings from the third quarter of the 18th century. The Kolomani Chapel is also located on the north side of the parish church. It houses a statue of the church's patron saint and was built in the 19th century. Together, the church and chapel provide a cultural gateway to Eichenbrunn without reducing the village to a single historical theme.

The village's history includes the tradition that Eichenbrunn is said to have originated around the year 1000 as a village arranged around a village green. This cautious historical classification complements the visible architectural and cultural traces found locally. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between a culturally oriented stay and days with a stronger focus on physical activity.

Village water basin and the story of Coloman

The village water basin is located at the foot of the parish church. Its temperature is approximately the same in summer and winter, at around 12 °C; it therefore does not freeze over. This detail makes the water feature an unusual part of the village landscape. According to tradition, the pilgrim Coloman rested in Eichenbrunn at the foot of the Leiser Berge mountains, at a spring that rises beside an oak tree. The Kolomani Chapel, the statue of the church's patron saint and this story thus provide several points of reference for a visit to the village with a historical and narrative focus.

Hiking, playground and different day plans

The Kellertrift long-distance hiking trail is relevant for longer hikes. The fifth stage leads from Eichenbrunn to Patzmannsdorf and is approximately 25 km long. In addition, the fourth stage is the longest stage of the route. If you plan such a hike, the length of the fifth stage, approximately 25 km, should be taken into account when planning the day.

For families, the Eichenbrunn playground offers balancing and climbing opportunities as well as a swing. It is also a five-minute walk from the alpacas at the Eichenbrunn Alpaca Farm. This means that active playtime and another specific experience can be included in your personal day planning.
