A day by car that brings together two faces of Lower Austria: in the morning, the Baroque of Göttweig Abbey above the Danube; in the afternoon, the wine of the Kamptal, with cellars dug under Langenlois, a walk among vineyards and dinner at a Heuriger, the tavern where the winery serves its own wine. Designed for a Saturday or Sunday in spring or autumn.

## The day, hour by hour

9:00 · Leave Vienna. About 60 km on the A1 to St. Pölten and the S33 towards Krems, or on the S5. Follow the signs to the abbey from Mautern.

10:00 · Göttweig Abbey. The visit with audio guide starts with the Kaiserstiege, Austria's largest Baroque staircase, under Paul Troger's fresco, and continues through the imperial rooms to the balcony of the Altmanni hall. €14.

12:30 · Lunch at the Stiftsrestaurant. On the abbey terrace, with the Danube valley at your feet. At weekends, kitchen until 15:30.

14:30 · Loisium cellars. Half an hour by car to Langenlois. You go down into cellars up to 900 years old with an audio guide and finish with a tasting; if you are driving, ask for must. Last entry at 16:30.

16:30 · Heiligenstein and Kamptalwarte. A walk up the riesling hill to the 21-metre viewing tower, with the Kamp valley and the Danube valley in view.

18:30 · Dinner at the Heurigenhof Bründlmayer. Inner courtyard, wines from the winery and seasonal cooking, on Saturday and Sunday from midday until 22:00.

20:30 · Return. On the S5, a little over an hour to Vienna.

## If you go with children or it rains

With children, swap the Heiligenstein for Schloss Rosenburg, up the valley, with the falconry display at 15:00 (April to October). The Loisium cellars have a children's tour with must, and if it rains, the cellars and the abbey are under cover.

## Cómo llegar

### By car
It is the way this plan is designed. If you drink wine, sleep in Langenlois: the Hotel Schloss Haindorf and the Pension Brandl are a few minutes away.

### Without a car
It can be done, but in two days: Göttweig by the Westbahn and a regional train to Furth/Göttweig, with a 2.8 km climb; the Kamptal via Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof, Hadersdorf and the Kamptalbahn.

## Consejos

### The driver doesn't taste
The Loisium tasting includes must; at the Heuriger, leave the wine to the others or stay overnight.

### Book the Heuriger
The Bründlmayer courtyard fills up at harvest time.
