Famous Vineyard at the Mouth of the KampWhere the Kamptal valley merges into the wide, fertile plain of the Tullner Field, one of Austria's largest wine-growing regions spreads around Langenlois. Already in the Middle Ages, the ecclesiastical and secular rulers of Dürnstein and Altenburg owned their harvest courts here, where the grape juice from Heiligenstein was pressed. From the Kamptalwarte of the Austrian Tourist Club, standing on its summit, there is a comprehensive view of this landscape shaped by viticulture.
