    Probably the largest and oldest grapevine in the world, entry in the Guinness Book of Records

    Hiking

    Katzenzungen Castle is idyllically situated on a hill near Prissian. The property was first mentioned in writing in 1244. The largest (300 m²) and, at 350 years old, probably oldest vine in Europe grows beneath Katzenzungen Castle. The white grapes are used to make the wine "Versoaln" in the Laimburg in Auer. Around 500 numbered bottles are produced every year.

    Hiking

    The Versoaln vine is a more than 350 year old vine and a unique cultural heritage worldwide. The extraordinary natural monument grows at 600 m height at the castle Katzenzungen in Prissian and has an enormous leafy roof of more than 350 square meters. From the fruit of the autochthonous vine the so-called "Versoaln white wine" is obtained, the uniqueness of which is documented by only about 500 bottled and certified bottles per year.
