Wildendürnbach offers several distinct starting points for a cultural stay: the cellar village on Galgenberg, St. Peter’s Parish Church, Haidberg and two described routes. On Galgenberg, a large number of cellars and press houses, a dated title and a church tower without a church come together. The parish church offers a different focus, with its building history and two named interior features. To plan your stay, you can first decide which of these aspects of the village you want to shape your visit.

Cellar Village and Church Tower on Galgenberg

The cellar village on Galgenberg comprises 184 cellars and press houses, spread across up to three levels. This brings two features to the fore: the number of cellars and press houses and their multi-storey arrangement. The number describes the scale of the ensemble; the reference to levels adds a spatial dimension. The cellar village can therefore be understood both through its many individual components and through its layout across several levels.

In 2013, Galgenberg was named “Cellar Lane of the Year 2013.” There is also a church tower without a church at the summit, which is also known as “Golingbiri.” The title and the tower are two distinct landmarks: one refers to Galgenberg’s award, the other to a named structure at the summit. This makes it possible to identify the place both through the cellar village and through its landmark at the summit.

St. Peter’s Parish Church: Building History and Interior

St. Peter’s Parish Church was built between 1971 and 1974 to plans by the architect Dr. Hans Petermaier. The construction dates and the architect’s name give the church a specific architectural history. Inside, the apse window and the “Sea Storm Sculpture” shape its distinctive character. Two different points of interest come together here: the building’s history and the design of its interior.

If you are interested in architecture, you can consider these aspects separately: the dates place the building in time, while the apse window and sculpture are the named features of the interior. Together, they provide a distinct focus alongside the cellar village and the church tower on Galgenberg.

Haidberg and Its Significance

Haidberg is recognized as being of national significance. This is a different designation from Galgenberg’s award in 2013: in Haidberg’s case, the focus is on its recognized national significance, while Galgenberg is associated with the dated title “Cellar Lane of the Year 2013.” When choosing a theme, Haidberg offers a separate point of interest alongside the cultural sites on Galgenberg.

Routes with Different Points of Interest

The EV13 route leads uphill from Wildendürnbach to Galgenberg; its starting point, destination and uphill direction are specified. The “Der Veltliner” cycle path passes directly by a sight in Wildendürnbach. The two descriptions therefore differ in what they describe: an uphill route to a named destination, and a cycle path passing by a sight. If you include routes in your plans, you can use these specific connections as different points of reference.

Plan Your Stay

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Wildendürnbach, first choose your main focus: the cellar village and church tower on Galgenberg, St. Peter’s Parish Church, Haidberg or the routes. This will help you match the village’s attractions to your own travel plans. Check specific options for your preferred dates.
