The trails from the extensive Gobelsburg cellar lane lead towards Zeiselberg; there is also a long history of wine-growing, historic connections to Bründl springs and sweeping views from Gobelsberg. This gives you a choice of different focuses for your stay: a cellar tour with tasting, exploring on foot or by bike, or taking in the landscape. When planning, it is worth distinguishing the tour, which has a set time slot, from the trails and cultural sites.

Wine-growing, cellars and tastings

The wine culture of Gobelsburg-Zeiselberg dates back centuries. In Gobelsburg, the cellars at Schloss Gobelsburg tell of an even earlier past: the oldest parts of the estate’s cellars date back to the 11th-century castle complex. As early as the 12th century, Zwettl Abbey owned vineyards in Gobelsburg; in 1740, it developed Schloss Gobelsburg into a wine estate. These dates mark distinct stages—early cellars, wine-growing and the later development into a wine estate—rather than a single founding moment.

Weingut Josef Burger in Gobelsburg-Zeiselberg offers another perspective. Josef Burger and his family have run it since 1992; its wine-growing tradition dates back to 1812. The estate produces fruity, lively white wines. Red wines are matured in large oak casks or small barrique barrels, depending on the variety. Alongside the long history, this highlights specific differences between the wines and how they are made.

If you would like to pair wine-growing with an activity, you can plan a cellar tour at Schloss Gobelsburg followed by a tasting of five wines. The tour information, last updated on 17 August 2026, lists appointments on Fridays at 2 pm and Saturdays at 11 am. The tour lasts 2.5 hours and costs 34 euros. Advance booking is essential; tours may occasionally be cancelled due to other events. Check the current booking conditions and availability before making plans.

On foot, by bike and with sweeping views

You can explore the Gobelsburg cellar lane on foot towards Zeiselberg, or take the same route by bike. The Winzerdorfweg Trail No. 63 is a circular hike from Langenlois to Gobelsburg. To find your way along this trail: at the end of the cellar lane, turn right by Weingut Burger. The cellar lane and circular hike offer different ways to experience the wine-growing landscape, while the observation tower on Gobelsberg looks out over the wider surroundings.

From the observation tower on Gobelsberg, the panoramic view stretches from the Tullner Basin across the Danube Valley to the foothills of the Alps. This offers a different focus from the trails through the cellar lane: here, the panorama takes centre stage, while there, you can explore on foot or by bike towards Zeiselberg. You can plan your excursion according to whether you would rather focus on a route or a sweeping view of the landscape.

Bründl springs and pilgrimage history

The Frauen-Bründl was first mentioned in a document in 1660 and was regarded by pilgrims as a sacred spring. At the entrance to Gobelsburg, coming from Langenlois, the Marien-Bründl combines the remains of a former chapel with a spring and a rest area. As maintenance conditions may change, check the condition of the rest area before your visit.

A trail leads into the Zeiselberg district and onwards to the restored remains of the “Maria Bründl” pilgrimage chapel. Each of the three Bründl sites has its own context: the Frauen-Bründl is chiefly known through its tradition as a sacred spring; the Marien-Bründl at the entrance to the village combines chapel remains, a spring and a rest area; and the trail to Zeiselberg leads to the restored chapel remains. These distinctions can help you keep the respective destinations separate when planning.
