We rode through all the cellar lanes and didn't find a single Heurigen restaurant that was open. I was very disappointed.

Located in the middle of Hadres's cellar lane, the Keller-Wohlfühlplatz (Cellar Well-being Area) is a great place to take a break. It offers restrooms, a self-service bike station, and seating – both indoors and outdoors – with refreshments available in the cellar tunnel. https://www.hadres.at/de/pages/keller-wohlfuehlplatz-136.aspx

At 1.6 km, the Hadres cellar lane is the longest in the Weinviertel. Numerous events take place annually in the 400 press houses and cellars. The cellar lane is a cultural asset whose fundamental elements are preserved. Guidelines ensure that no structural changes are made that do not fit the cellar image. Author Alfred Komarek filmed his novel "Polt" here and owns a press house with an attached cellar. Many of his works were created here or originated here.

The Sandberg is a peak in the Retzer Land with an altitude of 339 m. There is a cross and a 3-story observation tower, which is worth climbing at any time of the year; you can see the Pulkau and Schmida valleys, Retz and the Czech Republic 🤩. There is also a rest area and information boards. Sometimes drinks are chilled in the “wine fountain”.
