Langenlois is first mentioned in a document as “Liubisa”—meaning “the lovely one.” Today, Austria’s largest wine-growing town still lives up to this name: rolling meadows, small woodlands, and vineyard terraces characterize the landscape. The beautiful excursion destinations for young and old range from sustainable show gardens to cultural-historical walks. Magnificent viewpoints, such as the Kronsegg ruins or the observation tower on Gobelsberg, are easily accessible on foot.
In addition, the municipality in the Krems-Land district hosts a wide variety of wine-related events throughout the year: cellar lane festivals, the Kamp Valley Wine Spring, the Tour de Vin, Wine Autumn Weeks, and, of course, wine taverns. The award-winning wines from Langenlois’s renowned wineries have long enjoyed international recognition.

The blooming Kittenberger Adventure Gardens in Schiltern offer evergreen inspiration in their numerous show gardens, play areas for young guests, and events throughout the year. Noah’s Ark is also well worth a leisurely visit: Here, everything revolves around the preservation and cultivation of many rare varieties of fruits and vegetables that have nearly been lost. The largest mammoth tusk in Central Europe, meanwhile, is on display at the Langenlois Local History Museum —along with many other exhibits from prehistoric times and past centuries.
