The culinary highlights
This year, participants can look forward to exquisite red and white wines from the Schenzel winery in the Carnuntum region. This traditional family business pursues sustainable farming and uses untreated grapes. The wines are not only a delight for the palate, but also reflect the character of the region and the soil.
The wildlife management of the Kalkalpen National Park Authority is not only an important aspect of nature conservation, but also meets all the legal requirements of a protected area. Here, traditional knowledge, craftsmanship and modern scientific knowledge of wildlife ecology come together to produce sustainable and valuable food. The “Wine & Game” event is an invitation to all hikers to make new acquaintances while chatting and enjoying.
The hike is easy and suitable for families. It begins at the Haslersgatter car park in Windischgarsten and leads along a forest road past the Steyrsteg bivouac site. After about 30 minutes you reach the junction to the Weingartalmhütte. The total hiking distance is 4.6 km, which takes about 1.5 hours. You overcome an altitude of 170 meters and, if you wish, you can continue the hike over the Großer Größenberg (1,691 m).
The event takes place in all weather conditions, so that participants can prepare for an experience in nature. This pleasure hike is an excellent opportunity to experience the beauty of the Kalkalpen National Park and indulge in culinary delights at the same time.
