Sunday: 7:30 AM - 10:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Lookouts • Castles

Schloss Krumbach (auf ca. 613m Seehöhe) liegt im Herzen der ausgesprochen reizvollen Landschaft der „Buckligen Welt“ und erhebt sich südlich des Marktes Krumbach auf einem gleichmäßig abfallenden Waldhügel über die Talsohle des Zöbernbaches, der den Burgberg im Norden umfließt. Das nach allen Seiten freistehende, mächtige Bauwerk beherrscht das gesamte Landschaftsbild des Krumbacher Beckens. Sein ehrwürdiges Alter ist an der äußeren Form zu erkennen, obwohl es im Laufe der Jahrhunderte durch mannigfache Zu- und Umbauten bedeutende Veränderungen aufweist. Die Höhe, auf der das Schloss liegt ist größtenteils von Wald umgeben, der einen natürlichen Park bildet. Bei uns verbindet sich auf ehrwürdige Weise die Wirkung der geschichtsträchtigen 800 Jahre alten Mauern und zeitlosen Architektur zu unserem außergewöhnlichen gemütlichen und warmen Ambiente. Unsere Rezeption ist täglich von 07:30 - 20:00 besetzt. See more..

Im Weinviertel kann man eine Vielzahl von Kellergassen bestaunen. In manchen Gemeinden gibt es mehrere, so auch in Zellerndorf - hier soll es sieben geben. Die idyllischte ist sicher die Kellergasse Maulavern mit ihren weißen Kellerstöckln und den gepflegten Weingärten.

Hier läuft es gemütlich und ruhig ab, beim Wandern durch die Kellergasse gewinnt man Abstand von der Hektik des Alltags und kann die Natur genießen. In einer Radlerrast, einem offenen Keller mit Selbstbedienung, ist es möglich, den Durst mit Wein, Traubensaft und Mineralwasser zu stillen. See more..

4.5 Kellergasse Oagossn (2 reviews)
- Kellergasse in Falkenstein
Historic Sites • Historic Walking Areas • Architectural Buildings

The „Weinviertel“ is famous for its cellar lanes „Kellergassen“. More than 1,000 cellar lanes in about 180 communities are known in Lower Austria. A „Kellergasse“ is a lane down with several wine cellars and pressing houses. They are also called villages without chimneys by the locals. One of the most beautiful cellar lanes can be found in the small town of Falkenstein with its imposing border fortress built around 1050 on a limestone cliff above the surrounding vinyards. The cellar lane „Oagossn“ consists of two opposite cellar rows with a total of 65 pressing houses and adjoining earth cellars. The relatively uniform architecture of the press houses is unique - the gables of the buildings are mostly facing the street. Most of the closed ensemble has been preserved to this day. There are also older cellars, such as the "Gmoakeller", from the late 17th century. In the Falkenstein Kellergasse visitors will find wine taverns, open cellar doors and a restaurant and in the high season there are also festivals and wine tastings. See more..

- Gutes, günstiges Essen im Alpenstrandbad Edlach
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings

Ein junges, sehr engagiertes Team kocht nun sehr gut, abwechslungsreich im Alpenstrandbad auf.
Die Preise sind moderat, das Essen gut und nicht nur für Vereinsmitglieder - denn nach der 2 jährigen Schließung des Bades wird dieses nun als Verein geführt.

Die Mitgliedschaft kostet aber nur soviel, wie die Saisonkarte vor 2 Jahren...€ 70,-.
Gäste können eine "Schnuppermitgliedschaft" um € 15,-, die zu 3 maligem Besuch während der ganzen Badesaison berechtigt, erwerben.

Geöffnet ist das Bad von 09:00 bis 22:00 !! geöffnet, die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, das Wasser herrlich!
