Eltendorf offers a focus on hiking and Uhudler. There are six hiking trails around Eltendorf and Zahling, each 5 to 6 kilometres long. One notable route leads via Zahling to the Uhudler cellar district and back to Eltendorf. The municipality’s themes range from nature and art to culture and sport.

Choose hiking trails by theme and length

The municipality of Eltendorf has a total of six themed hiking trails featuring sights related to nature, art, culture and sport. The six hiking trails around Eltendorf and Zahling are each 5 to 6 kilometres long. These details offer two different ways to make your choice: trail length and thematic focus. If you are planning a hike as part of your stay, you can first consider which theme interests you, then take a closer look at the corresponding trail. That way, the focus is not only on the number of trails, but also on what you can discover along the way.

The Uhudler Art Trail

The Uhudler Art Trail leads from Eltendorf through the district of Zahling to the Uhudler cellar district and back to Eltendorf. There are 11 works of art along the trail. They depict the creation of a vintage of Uhudler, giving the route a clear connection to art and wine. The Uhudler art trails follow different routes from the village centre directly to the smallest wine-growing area in Burgenland. The return journey to Eltendorf is part of the route described; the outing is therefore not focused solely on the cellar district as a destination. If you are looking for a hike with a specific theme, the works of art and their connection to Uhudler are the defining features of this route.

The Uhudler district and winegrowing

The Uhudler district of Eltendorf lies on the southern slope of the Hochkogel, around two kilometres above Eltendorf. Together with the starting point in the village centre and the route into the wine-growing area, this location provides a specific geographical context for the art trails. Eltendorf is also a place where Uhudler wine is produced. Winegrowing is therefore not only a theme of the works of art, but also part of the character of the area. If you are interested in this connection, you can consider the route, the works of art and the wine-growing area as different aspects of a stay in Eltendorf.

Tastings in the old cellars

In the Uhudler district, visitors can sample wine or a regional snack in the old cellars. Uhudler can also be sampled at all establishments displaying the distinctive Uhudler flag. The flag is a useful point of reference if you are looking for this kind of tasting; the offer depends on the individual establishment. Contact the establishment before your visit to ask about a suitable time. This lets you take a possible tasting into account when planning, without automatically treating it as a fixed part of the hiking trail.
