!!!Kellergasse

Kellergasse (literally: cellar alleys or streets) typical form of 
settlement in the Austrian wine-growing regions (common in the 
Weinviertel and in some parts of the Burgenland): the picturesque 
houses of the Kellergassen are not part of the villages but were 
mostly built nearby, where the soil conditions and the hillside 
("Kellerberg") were suitable. In areas with loess soil the 
Kellergassen are mostly steep defiles where only the entrances of the 
cellars can be seen. The most famous Austrian Kellergassen are in the 
Weinviertel (Falkenstein, Roeschitz, Wartberg, Unterstinkenbrunn, 
Kronberg, Poysdorf, Ameis, Wildenduernbach, Mannersdorf an der 
March), on the Wagram (Fels, Feuersbrunn), in the wine-growing region 
of Carnuntum (Hoeflein) and in the Burgenland (Breitenbrunn, 
Heiligenbrunn).
