Bockfließ

The name Bockfließ can be found in documents as early as the 12th century. We come across it again and again in various spellings - Pochulise, Pochvlise, Poxvlis, Pokchfliess.

The lordship "with minor jurisdiction" explains the importance of the village over the centuries. The presence of the pillory with its underground dungeon cells may serve as proof.

The castle (12th century), the baroque Trinity Column (1729) in the center of the village, the statue of St. John (1737) with a wooden canopy, the small Trinity statue "Brezerlbua" (1710) are interesting cultural monuments. The plague column at the eastern end of the village bears witness to those terrible times.

The 20th century also brought many innovations to Bockfließ. The oil discoveries were striking. The "nodding horse heads" - pumping stations - became the region's landmark.

The geographical location at the transition from the Marchfeld to the hill country has always offered farmers good conditions. Cereals, sugar beet and all alternative crops thrive here. Excellent wines - white and red - ripen on the predominantly south-facing hills and are offered to guests by the farmers. The wine cellar lane invites friends and connoisseurs.

The nature of the landscape and the immediate proximity to the Hochleithenwald forest invite you to go hiking and cycling. You can always get to Bockfließ on well-marked and mostly dust-free paths. It is approx. 20km from the outskirts of Vienna to Bockfließ.

Catering establishments for everyone invite you to linger. A colorful mixture of businesses can fulfill your every wish.
