Herrnbaumgarten: Museums, Cellar Lanes and Wine

Herrnbaumgarten combines unusual museums, historic cellar traditions, wine offerings and various routes to create a destination with many independent discoveries. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can take their personal priorities into account as early as the planning stage: Should a cultural stay be the main focus, are you interested in wine, or would you like to explore various walking and hiking routes?

Unusual Museums and a Unique Local History

A distinctive starting point for curious visitors is the Nonseum. There you can see 487.3 “borderline ingenious” inventions that are not needed. The Nonseum also includes the Nonsenslehrgarten outdoor area and a cinema hall. This allows the museum visit to be experienced in different ways without limiting the exhibition to a single theme.

The Kitchen Museum and the Greisslermuseum offer further insights into past everyday life. The Kitchen Museum displays fully furnished kitchens from the years 1900 to 1970. The original inventory of the Vermischte Warenhandlung Brüger grocery shop, founded in 1877, has been preserved in the Greisslermuseum. In addition, the Cinema Museum displays restored sound-film equipment from a century of cinema history. For your trip planning, these venues can form a focus if you are interested in technology, household life, trade or the development of cinema.

Cellar Lanes, Hollow Ways and a Festival in June

Herrnbaumgarten has six different cellar lanes. The Schindergasse is a particularly vivid example of the local landscape: it runs through a clay-lined hollow way and features masonry cellar entrances, some cellars that are overgrown or collapsed, and restored press houses. The Schindergasse vividly illustrates the connection between the landscape and regional history. The Schindergassenfest also takes place there every year in June.

Experience Wine and Discover Regional Offerings

There are various ways to discover wine in Herrnbaumgarten. At the Labyrinthkeller Umschaid, visitors can take part in wine tastings in the connected underground cellar system. At the Vinothek Herrnbaumgarten, you can drink wine or grape juice together with a vintner. The selection includes more than 50 wines, juices, spirits, and sparkling or semi-sparkling wines. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore decide whether cultural sightseeing or culinary discoveries should be the focus of your days.

Routes for Different Daily Plans

For exercise, there are short and long Nordic walking routes, both of which start at the Schreiberhaus. The two options differ in length and can therefore be incorporated into your daily planning accordingly. The Ehret den Sock hiking trail leads to the large Sockenweingarten, the Steinberg Chapel, through a hollow way to the Antonius Chapel and to a cellar lane in Herrnbaumgarten.

Those who would like to explore the area beyond Herrnbaumgarten can also include the 3-Schwestern-Weg in their plans. It connects the wine-growing towns of Falkenstein, Poysdorf and Herrnbaumgarten. When choosing a holiday apartment in Herrnbaumgarten, you can therefore consider which priorities should shape your trip planning.
