Name of the wagon followed by the group of harvesters at the festival at the end of the grape harvest (autumn). Each farm decorated its cart with flowers, vine leaves and ribbons.

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
