Her father Josef is a passionate terrace builder; and there is indeed enough for him to build here: the eight hectares of the family are mainly situated in some of the steepest terraces of the Weissenkirchen area.

Visitors can not only enjoy excellent wines and culinary specialities, but also wonderful views across the roofs of Weissenkirchen to the shores of the Danube.<o:p></o:p>
