A particularly beautiful rest area on the Albrechtshöhe near the Parapluiwarte lookout tower. In the middle of the Seidl family's vineyard, there's a small viewing platform with a hut and a refrigerator stocked with drinks. A great spot for watching...sunrise and sunset.

I find these small "pleasure places" as a snack station, located directly on the cycle path, to be really imaginative and lovingly designed. We treated ourselves to fresh foam rolls here.
