Bullendorf combines Hallstatt-period history with early 20th-century buildings and Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane. Restored press houses and wine cellars line the sunken lane; there is also a circular route and the Hauer Route, which takes in a series of several places, including Bullendorf.

The Hallstatt Period and Building History

The Hallstatt-period burial mound in Bullendorf, known locally as Kapperlberg, is a listed monument. The Federal Monuments Authority includes it in its list of monuments dated June 23, 2026. Hüttenberg, also known as Schatzhüter or Saurüssel, is a Hallstatt-period hilltop settlement. The terms refer to two different archaeological forms: a burial mound and a settlement.

The parish church of Maria Königin and the former Liechtenstein tithe farm at Lindengasse 5 are also listed as protected monuments in the same register. The church was built in 1912 to plans by Karl Weinbrenner, architect to the Princely House of Liechtenstein. The rectory was also built to Weinbrenner’s plans, between 1910 and 1920. The church and rectory therefore share an architect; their construction periods overlap, with 1912 specified for the church and a date range given for the rectory. Looking back through time, the story stretches from the Zaya Valley, which has been inhabited since the Neolithic period, through the Hallstatt-period sites of Kapperlberg and Hüttenberg, to the buildings of the early 20th century: the parish church was built in 1912 and the rectory between 1910 and 1920. Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane is also associated with the Zaya Valley’s centuries-old winemaking tradition.

Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane and Wine

Old, lovingly restored press houses and wine cellars stand on both sides of the spacious sunken lane of Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane. This arrangement on both sides is part of the lane’s architectural character. Fuchsenweg is associated with the Zaya Valley, which has been inhabited since the Neolithic period; winegrowing has been an important tradition there for centuries.

Guided tours of Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane offer insights into its history and former significance. In Bullendorf, guided tours of the cellar lanes are also available by arrangement, with information about Bullendorf and the Weinviertel. A wine tasting and a traditional Heuriger snack can be added afterwards on request. Wine tastings are also offered at events in Fuchsenweg Cellar Lane. If you are planning to attend a specific event, check the date in advance.

Circular Route and Hauer Route

The Fuchsenweg circular route in Bullendorf is 5.8 km long and takes about 1¾ hours. The approximate walking time offers a guide for planning your day; check trail conditions before setting out.

The Hauer Route runs through Bullendorf, Ebersdorf an der Zaya and Walterskirchen to Poysdorf. The two routes differ in scale for planning: the circular route has a specific length and approximate walking time, while the Hauer Route passes through a series of named places before reaching Poysdorf.
