Description

The hike leads through terraced wine cellar lanes from Gedersdorf to Rohrendorfer Kellergasse. The impressive landscape along the route is the program, because the tour offers not only expansive vineyards but also the best regional wine to taste. After all, the destination of Rohrendorf near Krems is a traditional site of vine culture - viticulture has been practiced there for more than 1,000 years. The Rohrendorf wine cellar lane is also the longest of its kind in Austria and attracts wine lovers from all over the world with its 72 press houses and cellar tubes. Once you reach your destination, it is well worth stopping off at a wine tavern or two to round off your enjoyable hike.

Catering tip: The short distance is ideal for relaxed hikers and families with children. Once you arrive in Rohrendorf, you can fill your hiking rucksack with some regional delicacies at Nah&Frisch Markt Ebner (Mon-Fri 6-12.30 am and 3-6 pm, Sat 6.30 am-12 pm) if you decide to make your way back on foot. We particularly recommend enjoying a delicious snack and regional wines at one of the many wine taverns. You can find out which wine taverns are open in the online wine tavern calendar . The more comfortable way is to take the ÖBB back to Gedersdorf station.

Route description From Gedersdorf, we have the option to hike back to Krems via Rohrendorf or continue to Langenlois. From the town center, we walk about 500 m northwards. On the hiking route aimed at Krems, we turn left after the Rohrhofer Heuriger, past the wine press, into Leithenweg. Some well-known vineyards such as Eben, Schnabl, Neusiedeln are now on our path. Behind the Lenz Moser winery, the path leads down alongside numerous cellars to the federal road, which we have to cross to enter the center of Rohrendorf.

Editor’s tip The Rohrendorf cellar lane stretches over a length of 1,650 m and is thus the longest cellar lane in Austria. Here visitors will find 72 wine presses and cellar tunnels; some cellars date back to the 14th/15th century and were dug into the soft loess soil or laboriously into the hard conglomerate rock by monasteries, abbeys, or noble houses. With a bit of luck, you can enjoy the best wines and Heuriger delicacies on a vineyard terrace with views of Göttweig at an open cellar door.
