Eltendorf: Uhudler Trails, Art and Cellar Quarter

Eltendorf combines hiking trails with nature, art, culture and sport, as well as Uhudler wine. Different questions can help with planning your trip: How long are the trails, what theme does a route follow, and where can you explore the wine connection further? The Uhudler Art Trail, the location of the Uhudler Quarter on Hochkogel and the opportunity to sample wine in old cellars offer concrete starting points.

Hiking trails by length and theme

There are six hiking trails around Eltendorf and Zahling, each 5 to 6 kilometres long. The municipality also has a total of six themed hiking trails featuring sights related to nature, art, culture and sport. This information can help with different considerations: the distances give you an idea of the length of the trails, while the themes indicate their focus. To choose, you can first weigh up whether a specific distance or a particular area of interest matters more to you.

The Uhudler Art Trail

The Uhudler Art Trail starts in Eltendorf, passes eleven works of art, and goes through the district of Zahling to the Uhudler Cellar Quarter before returning to Eltendorf. The works of art depict the creation of a vintage of Uhudler. The wine is therefore more than just part of the trail’s name: its creation is also the theme of the artworks. This route lets you take in both the path through the localities and the artistic connection to Uhudler.

Location and routes to the wine-growing area

The Uhudler Quarter of Eltendorf lies on the southern slope of Hochkogel, around two kilometres above Eltendorf. The Uhudler Art Trails follow different routes from the centre of the village directly to Burgenland’s smallest wine-growing area. One specific route is described as the Uhudler Art Trail, which goes through Zahling to the Cellar Quarter and back to Eltendorf. The information offers two different points of reference: the location of the quarter and a specifically named trail, while the plural refers to different routes into the wine-growing area. The distance of around two kilometres describes the location, not the length of a hiking route.

Uhudler and regional tastings

Uhudler wine is produced in Eltendorf. You can sample Uhudler at all establishments marked with a distinctive Uhudler flag. In the Uhudler Quarter, visitors can sample wine or enjoy a regional snack in the old cellars. The flag helps you identify establishments that offer tastings; the old cellars provide another concrete point of reference in the quarter. If you plan to visit a particular establishment for a tasting, check its opening hours in advance, as the offer depends on the individual establishment. The Art Trail also leads to the Cellar Quarter, creating a thematic connection between hiking and wine tasting.
