Discover Enzersfeld Im Weinviertel

Enzersfeld Im Weinviertel combines a landscape shaped by wine cellar lanes with a history of viticulture, marked trails and historic buildings. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in the village, these themes can help you decide whether culture, hiking or a seasonal festival should be the focus of your trip. The wine cellar lanes are particularly prominent in the village landscape; at the same time, local history and the circular hiking trail offer further concrete ideas for planning your day.

Wine Cellar Lanes and the History of Viticulture

The wine cellar lanes shape the landscape of Enzersfeld. There are eight in total, with more than 200 wine-press houses and forecourts. Viticulture is documented as early as 1343: at that time, new vineyard plots were mentioned in “Engelschalichsveld.” The historic place name and this early reference provide a specific point of reference in time for the topic of viticulture, while the wine cellar lanes stand out today as a defining feature of the cultural landscape. Visitors can explore the lanes on foot along marked trails. Tours with certified wine cellar lane guides are recommended. Before you arrive, confirm whether a tour is available on your preferred date.

Trails and Getting Around

Created in 2008, Pappelspitz is a 25,000 m² triangular site designed to blend with nature and serves as the entrance to the wine cellar lanes. Its size and shape give the site a distinctive character; its function also connects it to the theme of the wine cellar lanes. The Riedenweg is a 4 km circular hiking trail in Enzersfeld, taking about 60 minutes to walk. If you are looking for a clearly specified route for an excursion, it gives you both a distance and an approximate walking time. The wine cellar lanes, by contrast, can be explored on foot along marked trails. This lets you distinguish between the two options based on how the routes are described, without conflating the circular hike with a visit to the wine cellar lanes.

Seasonal Wine Events

The Kellerfest takes place every May in the Enzersfeld wine cellar lanes and includes wine tastings hosted by local winegrowers and vintners. The “stürmisch staubige” Hallo-Wein-Fest is held every October. Tastings include Sturm, Staubiger and the first young wine of the new vintage. The seasonal difference is useful when choosing when to travel: the Kellerfest is in May, while the Hallo-Wein-Fest is in October; the exact dates may vary. So check the dates before finalizing your trip.

The Church and Other Local Highlights

The Church of the Nativity of Mary was built in 1681 on the site of an earlier chapel. The chapel was retained as the presbytery, or high altar room. The Baroque high altar of the old church is now the Marian altar. Both the year of construction and the continuing function of the former chapel are therefore important to the building’s history. The Calvary group east of Enzersfeld parish church was built around 1720 and renovated in 2015. It adds another landmark with a clear historical timeframe to the church’s history.

Other sights in Enzersfeld include the plague column on Korneuburger Straße. Below the Maria-Lourdes Chapel is the Tettenhauerbründl, a spring that flows continuously. Alongside the wine cellar lanes, a monument and a named spring also offer ways to explore local cultural and landscape themes.
