Heuriger or Buschenschank - which is better? Our opinion: none! The home cooking that is served in both – regardless of whether it is the cold platters from the Buschenschanken or the hearty cuisine from the Heurigen – is always good. And the wine even more!
We are guests of the last blueprint in the Koó blueprint in Steinberg in Burgenland. Josef Koó and his wife Miriam talk about this traditional craft in Burgenland to this day.
Experience a medieval knight's meal in one of the knights' halls at Lockenhaus Castle. The Knights Templar, who once lived in the castle, ate their meal there.
You can experience Burgenland wine intensively in autumn. We like wine and wine regions. We are here in autumn and the grape leaves are changing color every day. The winemakers decorate their wineries for autumn.
Immerse yourself in the world of handicrafts in Burgenland and get to know local artists and craftsmen. Learn more about their techniques and methods and be inspired by their creativity.
