BAXA Advent in the Lime Kiln 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge (Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. A unique industrial and cultural monument on the edge of the Leithagebirge forest. The illuminated historic lime kiln shaft provides a spectacular backdrop.

Festive lighting and the aroma of cinnamon, cloves and freshly baked pastries define the charm of this market.

In wine-growing communities rich in tradition like Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge, honest enjoyment comes first. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – *“Only good wine makes good mulled wine!”* – Die Rupps relies on pure wine and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.
