Großebersdorf: Wine Cellar Lane, Local History and EuroVelo 9

Großebersdorf lies where the Marchfeld meets the Weinviertel hills and along the popular EuroVelo 9 cycling route. Historical points of interest in Großebersdorf and Putzing add to its appeal: pottery finds indicating Bronze Age settlement, the town’s documentary mention in 1168, and the historic Putzing Wine Cellar Lane. Religious sites and a year-round events programme complete the picture. This gives you different ways to plan your trip, whether around the cycling route, local history or events.

Location and cycling

Its position where the Marchfeld meets the Weinviertel hills places Großebersdorf within its regional context. For cyclists, the popular EuroVelo 9 offers another specific point of reference: the route passes through the town. If you are planning your trip around EuroVelo 9, you can include Großebersdorf among your destinations along the route. The geographical setting and the route offer different perspectives on what might shape your stay.

Traces from different eras

Pottery found near Wartberg in the village of Putzing indicates that the area was already settled in the Bronze Age. Großebersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1168, under the name Eberhartisdorf. These are two distinct historical points of reference: the finds indicate earlier settlement, while the documentary mention records the town in a specific year and under a name used at the time. Archaeological traces and a medieval place name thus offer two separate ways to explore the area’s history.

Explore Putzing Wine Cellar Lane on foot

You can explore historic Putzing Wine Cellar Lane on foot, but its cellars are open only during events or guided tours. A guided tour offers insight into the lane’s history and its former significance. If you would like to visit the cellars, plan to join a tour or attend an event, and check the latest dates in advance.

Religious sites and events

There are several cultural attractions beyond the wine cellar lane. Großebersdorf Parish Church combines Gothic and Baroque elements, bringing two architectural styles together in one building. Also worth visiting are the wayside shrine of Saint John of Nepomuk in Großebersdorf and the wayside chapel in Putzing. Traditional winemakers are also part of the townscape. The family-friendly municipality offers a year-round events programme that includes soapbox races, Frühschoppen gatherings, wine cellar lane festivals and a summer fair. If an event is a deciding factor in your trip, check the latest dates in advance.
