Wine-growing municipality in the north-east of the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Weinviertel. The Czech border is ten kilometres to the north. In recent years, Herrnbaumgarten has become known mainly for its "Association for the Utilisation of Surplus Thoughts". Among many other curiosities, there is a "24-hour vineyard snail race". About a dozen winegrowers in the municipality have joined together to form the "Vinetum" brand association. In 1995, the "Association for the Preservation and Revival of the Kellergassen" was formed. Among other things, natural stone walls and pretty lanterns were erected. In spring 2005, the "verruckte Vinothek" was opened, where a different winegrower always presents his products.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
