Winegrowing in Wernersdorf has been documented since the Middle Ages; today, Wernersdorf also sees itself as a place on the Schilcher Wine Road. Named trails, the Emmaus Chapel, the Distilling Equipment Museum and the WIP Adventure Pool offer further starting points for planning. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether wine and trails, the Emmaus tradition and culture, or swimming will shape your stay.

Winegrowing and Trails with Clear Destinations

The Emmauswinzer Trail is dedicated to the EmmausWein myth and connects the Emmaus winegrowers of Wernersdorf. It offers a themed introduction to the local winegrowing tradition. On the Mühlenwege trails, you can use the named destinations as your guide: the Strutz-Mühlenweg starts at the information point in the Schilcherdorf Wernersdorf and leads to the Schilcher Wine World. The Strutz-Mühlen-Erlebnisweg starts at the tourist information point in Wernersdorf and leads to the Strutz Mill. When choosing between these trail descriptions, what matters most is which destination interests you: the Schilcher Wine World or the Strutz Mill.

The Sulmweg is a marked trail about seven kilometres long. Its approximate length and markings are concrete points to consider when planning your day. Wies-Eibiswald is listed as the nearest railway station to the Emmauswinzer Trail. If you are considering travelling by train, check the current connections for your travel dates.

Emmaus Chapel and Cultural History

The Emmaus Chapel in Wernersdorf is used for Holy Mass, devotions, weddings and baptisms. Dates may change; check the latest event information if you would like to plan your stay around one of these occasions. Every Easter Monday, the chapel is the destination of the Emmaus Walk, an early-morning star-shaped procession. For travellers interested in this custom, Easter Monday is a specific point of reference when choosing their travel dates. The chapel also contains works by artist Gerald Brettschuh.

The Distilling Equipment Museum is housed in an old wine cellar building dating from 1865. The historic building offers a different cultural connection from the uses and artworks of the Emmaus Chapel: here, the type of building and its year of construction are distinctive details. Those interested in local history can take this aspect into account when choosing their focus, alongside the chapel’s religious and artistic connections.

Planning a Visit to the WIP Adventure Pool

The WIP Adventure Pool in Wernersdorf is solar-heated and has two swimming lanes and a family-friendly playground. These features give the pool its own place in your travel plans. As seasonal opening status can change, check it before planning a visit.

When looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to consider what you want to focus on: should wine trails, the Emmaus tradition, the historic museum or the pool shape your stay? The time of year may also matter. The Emmaus Walk takes place on Easter Monday, while you should check the pool’s current seasonal opening status.
