At the Josef Schicha winery, you can experience winegrowing up close and taste wines; two official trails, approximately 6 and 12 kilometres long, are available for hiking. Auggenthal is a small district of the municipality of Haugsdorf. A visit to the winery and hiking offer different priorities when planning your stay: one focuses on wine tasting, while the other offers a choice between two trail lengths and their respective routes. A themed experience trail and a protected wayside shrine add to the local attractions. This lets you tailor your stay to the interests that matter most to you, rather than giving equal weight to every theme.

Winegrowing and Landscape

The Josef Schicha winery is located in Auggenthal. A visit gives you the opportunity to experience winegrowing up close and taste wines. The winery is set in a basin landscape with gentle loess soils and sandy slopes. This provides two specific points of interest for a visit: the winery as a place to learn about winegrowing and taste wines, and the distinctive landscape with its soils and slopes. If you are planning a visit, check the current arrangements before you travel.

Hiking Trails: Approximately 6 or 12 Kilometres

An official hiking trail of approximately 6 km leads to the Kellertrift Jetzelsdorf and back via Auggenthal. A second official hiking trail, approximately 12 km long, follows long-distance hiking trail 607 and passes through Auggenthal. The longer route is therefore roughly twice as long as the shorter one; the approximate distances give you a clear basis for comparison. The routes also differ in where they lead: the Kellertrift Jetzelsdorf is the named destination of the shorter route, while the longer one incorporates long-distance hiking trail 607. When choosing, you can therefore take both the distance and the route description into account. Check current trail conditions before setting out, as they may change.

Experience Trail and Monument

The 1st Weinviertel Experience Trail – Places of Power and Energy is located in the cadastral municipality of Auggenthal. Its name gives it a different focus from the two hiking routes: the theme of places of power and energy is already reflected in its title. This offers a thematic option in addition to choosing a route by length. If you do not want to plan your outings solely by kilometres, you can consider the named experience trail as a separate focus.

The wayside shrine at Auggenthal 15 is a specific cultural landmark. In the Lower Austrian register of monuments dated 23 June 2026, it is listed as protected under a regulation. This places different interests side by side: the experience trail is themed around places of power and energy, while the specific point of reference for the wayside shrine is its protection under the regulation. This distinction can help you choose between a themed trail and a protected individual monument.
