    When garbage and carelessness become a problem

    Don't leave any garbage behind!

    A small château borders the Wingertschnegg and invites you to have a picnic at the self-made tables and benches with a view of the Donnersberg. Important for all hikers, cyclists and nature lovers - who don't want to miss this excursion destination - please take your own garbage with you and don't leave it on site. This is the only way to continue to allow free access and use of this wonderful little place. "Many people see the Wingertschnegg and the château as common property, but it is privately owned. It is sad for us to keep seeing the leftovers, bottles, cigarettes and more. Since the corona pandemic, we have had an incredible number of visitors. The majority behave properly. We don't want to fence anything in and as long as everyone follows the rules, the château can still be visited. Since we don't have any toilets, unfortunately many people go behind our château and leave their business and paper there," adds Karl-Ernst Glas.

    Last year the association put up a sign saying that the Wingertschnegg and the château are privately owned and that the area is treated with care. "Anyone who walks past and takes a rest is welcome as long as they don't leave any dirt behind," says board member Glas, mentioning that many climbing enthusiasts now use the château as a climbing wall, but this is absolutely not the point and is even dangerous.

    The vineyard, a garden Please do not enter!

    "Our vineyard is also an organic vineyard, which can be viewed as a private garden. To improve the soil quality, appropriate plants are sown between the rows, which are often trampled by hikers. Many people walk the entire Wingertschnegg, even though it is not actually allowed to be entered, because that would ruin all our work in one fell swoop,” adds Karl-Ernst Glas sadly, and finally mentions that the Château is not available or can be booked for events of any kind.clh

      The vines are set in a spiral so that the Wingert resembles a snail shell. The wine, which is won here, may not be sold according to the association's statutes, but is drunk or given away by the winemakers themselves.

        The entire area is private property!

        Short stays for hikers are tolerated.

        Parties and larger events are not permitted!

        Every second Saturday of the month the Schnegge is only available to members.
