Discover Königsbrunn Am Wagram

Königsbrunn am Wagram lies at the southern edge of the Wagram, a distinctive loess escarpment in the western Weinviertel. The village’s vineyards lie on the Hausberg; vegetables are grown on the Tullnerfeld plain. This places winegrowing on the slopes and vegetable farming on the plain side by side as two different land uses. The fertile loess soils offer good conditions for winegrowing in Königsbrunn am Wagram. Wines from the Wagram’s southern slopes mature in deep loess cellars. Many homeowners enclosed springs flowing from the Wagram’s loess in brick-built cellars.

The Wagram Escarpment, Gardens and Views

The signposted Königsbrunn Wine Trail offers views from the Wagram across the Tullnerfeld plain as far as Schneeberg and Ötscher. The Wagramfenster stands right on the Wagram escarpment in Königsbrunn am Wagram. The Königsbrunn parish garden stretches from the village centre up to the escarpment. The Wagram escarpment can thus be experienced in different ways: as the landscape behind the trail, as the setting for the Wagramfenster, and as the endpoint of the parish garden.

Walks and Seasonal Events

Visitors can stroll through the parish garden among old fruit trees and up to the parish garden pond. The annual young plant market is held there in late April or early May. Plant enthusiasts can buy and sell plants they have grown themselves; the date varies. In December, the parish garden may also offer an Advent atmosphere with a campfire, punch or mulled wine, and a small Christmas market. Dates and details may vary. If you are travelling specifically for a market or Advent event, check the exact plans in advance.

The Zaußenberg Plum Trail provides information about different plum varieties and offers numerous rest areas, viewpoints, places to stop for refreshments, and play areas. The route combines interesting facts about the fruit with several opportunities to take a break or enjoy the view along the way. As individual facilities may change, check their current status when planning a specific route.

Cultural Heritage and Cellar Lane

The former “Totenhäusl” is a protected historic monument. Originally, it was a chapel built in 1804 that also served as a viewing room for the deceased. Over the Whitsun weekend in 2021, it opened as the Kunstraum Wagram art space with its first exhibition, “Landpartie Wagram.” The longest water cellar in Königsbrunn is also located on the Hausberg, on the other side of the church, and belongs to the municipality. Its basin extends 15 metres into the hill. The Totenhäusl and the water cellar represent two different aspects of the built heritage: a protected historic building that originally served as a chapel and later opened as an art space, and a municipal cellar structure with a basin extending deep into the hill.

The Weinviertel Way of St. James passes through the Königsbrunn parish. A pilgrim stamp is located in the Peace Chapel by the cemetery. Johanna Ettl guides visitors through the Königsbrunn cellar lane, “Am Bromberg.” Confirm the tour details before travelling.
