Kitzeck im Sausal

Kitzeck im Sausal is Austria's highest wine-growing village, sitting at 564 meters above sea level with spectacular panoramic views across the wine regions below. This elevated position creates a special climate that produces distinctive wines, particularly in the Sausal wine region known for its unique character. The village's church tower houses an interesting wine museum, offering insights into centuries of alpine wine-making. From Kitzeck's vineyards, you can enjoy sweeping views that extend across multiple wine regions toward the Alps.
