    This varied circular hike combines the unspoiled countryside along the Pinka River with the characteristic vineyards of Southern Burgenland. Along the way, you’ll find regional cuisine, cozy wine taverns, and unique cultural attractions.

    A highlight of the tour is the Maria Weinberg pilgrimage church with its beautiful view. The Moschendorf Wine Museum and the numerous traditional wine cellars also offer insights into the region’s wine and cultural history. The combination of the river landscape, rolling vineyards, and the typical vineyards around Gaas and Moschendorf is particularly charming.

    Author’s recommendation

    At the vineyard, it’s worth taking a break at one of the cozy wine taverns. It’s especially lovely to let your gaze wander over the rolling vineyard landscape while enjoying a glass of local wine.
