The circular route leads from Langenzersdorf via Bisamberg, Korneuburg, Leobendorf, Harmannsdorf, Manhartsbrunn, Enzersfeld im Weinviertel, Hagenbrunn and Stammersdorf back to Langenzersdorf. The route was named after the Donau-Veltliner grape variety. This is a new variety and a fungus-resistant grape and white wine variety.
