FEST DER SAISON | FESTIVAL OF THE SEASON<br />

Willkommen beim 28. Weinherbst Niederösterreich! | Welcome to the<br />

28th Wine Autumn in Lower Austria!<br />

Der Wein ist in Niederösterreich historisch tief verwurzelt und trägt maßgeblich zur kulturellen Identität bei. So wird von<br />

August bis November beim Weinherbst Niederösterreich mit all seinen Facetten gefeiert: Eröffnet wurde er im August<br />

stimmungsvoll bei Toni Mörwalds „Weinblick“ (im Foto oben), danach folgen Verkostungen, Weinfest, Tage der offenen<br />

Kellertüren, Prämierungen und vieles mehr. Grandiose Landschaft trifft vortrefflichen Wein. Glanzvolle Kultur trifft feinste<br />

Kulinarik. Gelebte Tradition trifft kreative Innovation. Und die Gäste treffen auf herzliche Gastfreundschaft. Zum Wohl!<br />

Wine has deep historical roots in Lower Austria and contributes significantly to its cultural identity. Thus, from August to<br />

November, Wine Autumn Lower Austria celebrates the province in all its facets: It opened in August at Toni Mörwald‘s<br />

”Weinblick”(pictured above), and will be followed by tastings, wine festivals, open cellar days, award ceremonies and<br />

much more. Grandiose landscape meets excellent wine. Glamorous culture meets the finest cuisine. Living tradition meets<br />

creative innovation. And guests encounter warm hospitality. Cheers!<br />

Das renommierte Wiener Architekturbüro<br />

BWM Designers & Architects lässt im<br />

Auftrag der Hirmer Immobilien den Glanz<br />

des Straubingerplatzes in Bad Gastein<br />

wieder aufleben – Geschichte wird so<br />

bewahrt und mit neuen Elementen würdig<br />

ergänzt. Das zwischen 1791 und 1888<br />

erbaute Ensemble Hotel Straubinger, in<br />

dem Top-Koch Eckart Witzigmann einst<br />

kochen lernte, prägt seit jeher das<br />

Zentrum des beliebten Kurortes und steht<br />

unter Denkmalschutz. Mit viel Expertise,<br />

Behutsamkeit und Herzblut werden die<br />

Things are happening again in Bad<br />

Gastein! The renowned Viennese<br />

architectural firm BWM Designers &<br />

Architects has been commissioned by<br />

Hirmer Immobilien to revive the<br />

splendour of Straubingerplatz in Bad<br />

Gastein - history is thus preserved and<br />

dignified with new elements. Built<br />

between 1791 and 1888, the ensemble<br />

Hotel Straubinger, where top chef Eckart<br />

Witzigmann once learned to cook, has<br />

always shaped the centre of the popular<br />

spa town and is a listed building. With a<br />

great deal of expertise, caution and heart<br />

and soul, the hotels located directly at<br />

the waterfall will be renovated and<br />
