The winemakers from Ahrenberg and Eichberg have built a 15m high observation tower at the highest point of the popular hiking trail Hauersteig. The corkscrew, a symbol of wine, coziness, and enjoyment, opens up enchanting views of the wide landscape! The view stretches from the Danube floodplains over the Weinviertel to the vast Waldviertel region. You can see from the Tullnerfeld to the Kamptal and over the Vienna Woods to the Schneeberg.

The magnificent view from the corkscrew, the relaxing sounds of nature, the scent of forest soil and excellent wine, the delicious treats with which the taverns invite you to linger, the feeling of joyful atmosphere and warm hospitality: A visit to the Ahrenberger-Eichberger wine cellar lane is a delight for all the senses. Traisental wine guides: Guided hikes through nature on the theme of wine are offered. The wine guides are passionate about sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for wine, the beauties of their homeland, and nature. Exciting stories, funny everyday episodes, and traditional elements await you. At the end, we pause and enjoy Traisental wine or grape juice. The Traisental wine region, Austria's youngest and at the same time oldest wine region, has the highest density of taverns in Austria in terms of vineyard area. Along the hiking route, there are the following thematic stations: 1. The hollow paths, 2. Beneficial insect hotel, 3. Geology, 4. The deciduous tree, 5. Barrel landscape, 6. Types of wood, 7.
