Common name for vineyards (sites) in German-speaking countries. The name indicates a diverse bird population. There are at least three of them in Austria:
The two main varieties grown here are Grüner Veltliner and Zweigelt. The H&B Haferl, H&M Hofer and Kaiser wineries, for example, have shares in the vineyard.
Also known as "Berg Vogelsang", this vineyard is located on the Loiserberg to the west of Langenlois and is therefore often referred to as a sub-vineyard. It curves to the west and borders a mixed forest. The soils consist of primary rock with garnet and mica schist. The main grape variety grown here is Grüner Veltliner. The Bründlmayer Willi winery, for example, has a share in the vineyard.
