Cellar cat enchants Hollabrunn: magical nights in the cellar alleys!

On May 30, 2025, the multi -layered event "Long Night of Kellergassen" took place in Hollabrunn, which has set itself the goal of making the fascinating world of fairy tales, myths and legends around the legendary cellar. Especially with families with children, this evening met with great interest, which was not least due to the first rays of the day of the day, which dipped the event in an inviting light. The NÖN reports of the positive atmosphere and the lively response.

The Kellkatzenweg, a place that was recognized four years ago as the most beautiful place in Lower Austria, served as the ideal environment for the exciting and varied activities at eight different stations. From story counters to wine tastings to culinary delights - the program was so diverse that there was something for everyone. The organizer Günter Stockinger plans to let the large cellar cat soon shine in her black shine.

cellar culture in the Weinviertel

The wine cellar alleys of the Weinviertel not only have a historical, but also a social value. They have been a place of encounter and exchange for over 200 years. Stories meters led the guests through the mysterious corridors and underlined the importance of this unique cultural center. According to weinviertel.at , the traditional "köllastund", in which you come together in a glass of wine, is a central component of social life in the cellar alley.

Both the cellar alleys and the participants are part of a lively heritage that still has existed today. People from all social classes are invited to exchange their stories, whereby the humorous motto "What speaks in the basement - that does not go to daylight" applies. This traditionally lived cellar culture is not only a figurehead for the region, but also actively contributes to strengthening social cohesion.

an experience for young and old

No matter whether with a "KöllaPartie", a social gathering with friends and neighbors, or during the popular "Köllajausn" with hearty dishes - the cellar culture offers space for socializing and exchange. Many of these traditions that include bizarre stories about the basement cat and other local myths captivate not only locals, but also tourists.

The nightly atmosphere in the vaults of the basement, which were illuminated by torches and lanterns, was particularly fascinating. It was an experience that made the long history of the Kellergassen visible in a modern context and brought us closer to the exciting culture that was rooted in the Weinviertel. These cultural treasures are not only nostalgic, but also of lively importance for the community, as well as unisco.at confirmed.

The success of the “Long Night of Kellergassen” impressively shows that old traditions such as the cellar alleys can still inspire and bring people together. When you see how families, friends and neighbors celebrate and enjoy in a warm, inviting atmosphere, it becomes clear that the legacy of the basement is alive and full of stories that need to be told.
