It surrounds Vienna, borders the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia to the north-east and, within Austria, Burgenland to the south-east, Styria to the south and Upper Austria to the west.

Niederösterreich - Gumpoldskirchen, Stillfried und Dürnstein

History

Even before the soldiers of Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus (232-282) brought wine presses to the Danube, the indigenous people were already pressing Marcomanni wine. The municipality of Stillfried an der March in the Weinviertel is one of the most important archaeological sites in Austria and, along with Zagersdorf in Burgenland, is considered the oldest wine-growing village in Central Europe. Several important artefacts are on display in the Stillfried Museum. These include the "Stillfried Cup", a bronze drinking vessel and grape seeds from a Vitis vinifera around 900 B.C. At this time, the Celts settled in this area, who were already growing grapes and using wooden barrels to transport wine.
