Terraced vineyards made from dry stone walls near Weißenkirchen in the popular tourist area of the Wachau, Lower Austria


The Domäne Wachau vineyards are found throughout the Wachau on the steep dry stone terraces on both sides of the Danube River. The dry stone walls of the terraced vineyards are an essential part of the terroir in the Wachau. These walls were constructed from natural rock and rubble without the help of cement mortar.
