Retz
The mill, the cellars, the alleyways, the town - and a wide range of (wine) culinary delights
The wine town with centuries of history - Retz is the hub of the region, enchanting visitors with its wonderful main square, majestic buildings and medieval town walls, behind which the picturesque expanse of the Weinviertel begins. The entire city has a cellar, and the network of underground cellars is denser than the above-ground road network.
Precious diversity - in and around the city. And even underneath.
It's a great place to live - with a number of room renters, in guesthouses or in the elegant four-star Hotel Althof. At numerous wine taverns, traditional inns or in the Weinquartier (Lower Austria's largest regional wine cellar). And if you leave the city walls, you can first visit the Retz landmark, the windmill, and then wander through ancient Weinviertel villages such as Obernalb, Kleinhöflein or Kleinriedenthal.
The most important sights and Excursion destinations are:
- The windmill
- The "Reblaus Express " adventure train - the most beautiful connection between the Weinviertel and Waldviertel regions
- The Retz Museum with the South Moravian Gallery
- The bicycle museum
- The town hall tower
- And of course the Retzer Erlebniskeller
The range of events in Retz is also impressive:
From the Weinviertel Wine Tour in spring to the Retz Wine Week, the Retz Culture Festival, the famous Grape Harvest Festival, the Pumpkin Festival and Advent "drüber und drunter", the calendar of events is well stocked.
With over 400 km of cycling and hiking trails, the Retzer Land also offers one of the densest networks of trails in Austria.
