Kirchberg Am Wagram

Kirchberg am Wagram combines a distinctive landscape with viticulture, cultural history and unusual discoveries. The village lies on the southern edge of the Wagram, a distinctive loess escarpment between the Tullnerfeld and the Danube Valley. Fertile loess soils and intensive viticulture shape the surrounding area. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Kirchberg am Wagram can use the routes and destinations described as a guide for planning their own trip.

Discover the loess landscape actively

Several routes with clearly described itineraries and distances are available for planning your days. The Wagram Trail is approximately 18 kilometres long, connects the Weinviertel Trail with the Danube Cycle Path and runs through the Kirchberg am Wagram area. Cycle Route 4a, “Wine Country around Kirchberg”, starts at the market square and is 17.5 kilometres long. Both details help you assess the desired route as early as the trip-planning stage.

The 6.2-kilometre Alchemist Trail connects the Alchemist Museum with Oberstockstall. The “tut gut” Steps Trail begins in Alchemistenpark. Another option is the Loess Tour: it leads from Kirchberg am Wagram towards Oberstockstall, across the upper part of the Wagram escarpment, through the cellar lane and past the “Naschgarten” and Alchemistenpark, before returning to Kirchberg am Wagram. If your travel group has different interests, this makes it possible to incorporate culture, landscape and exercise into different daily itineraries.

Alchemistenpark and special cultural attractions

Alchemistenpark is an attraction in its own right. The permaculture site was established from 2007 onwards and now brings together around 200 species. In the public spaces of the “Edible Municipality”, more than 300 different species can also be viewed and sampled. These two places give the landscape a distinctive character that can be experienced directly.

Cultural history is also very much present in Kirchberg am Wagram. The pilgrimage church of Maria Trost stands on a natural elevation known as the Kirchberg, southeast of the market square. Its Gothic stepped structure was built in the second half of the 14th century and extensively remodelled in the Baroque style in the 18th century. The origins of the pilgrimage church date back to the installation of a vowed statue of the Madonna in 1679 by the merchant Christoph Beer.

At Gut Oberstockstall, visitors can discover an alchemical find comprising around 1,000 objects. A historical walk leads from the Alchemist Museum in Kirchberg am Wagram past historically significant sites to the Oberstockstall castle chapel. In addition to routes through the landscape, this provides an option focused on historical stops.

Regional cuisine, market and wine

The regional character is also reflected in the culinary offerings. The WERITAS wine shop presents wines from around 50 winegrowers in the region and offers regional cuisine. The “Kirchberger Naschmarkt” takes place on Saturdays from May to the end of October. On Saturday mornings, regional farmers offer their products there.
