The Radyweg is considered the most extended wine cellar lane (Kellergasse) of Poysdorf. In earlier times, the buildings along the path formed wine cellars or press houses. A tour guide told me the length of all cellar lanes in Poysdorf adds up to 60 kilometres!

Kirchgasse in Erfurt
Visitors of Erfurt find this romantic lane named Kirchgasse next to Augustine’s Monastery (Augustinerkloster). Martin Luther stayed as a monk in this monastery from 1505–1511.
Yellow brick road in Poysdorf
Once upon a time, some parts of Austrian roads were paved with clinker bricks produced in Schattau, the Czech Šatov today. In Poysdorf, you still find a mile with these typically yellow bricks (Schattauer Pflaster).
Wine cellar lane Rösselberg in Poysdorf
This lane is one of several wine cellar lanes (Kellergassen) in Poysdorf. It is actually a hollow-way with a couple of rooms built into a loess layer. These rooms have only a front façade, but no brick walls or a timbered roof.
Wine cellar lane Kirchengasse in Poysdorf
The wine cellar lane Kirchengasse next to the parish church of Poysdorf was originally not a hollow-way but a defensive ditch for the fortified church.
Steingasse in Salzburg
The Steingasse in the city of SaIzburg is a pretty old street. During ancient Roman times it was a trade road connecting Iuvavum (Salzburg) with the south of the Roman Empire. The buildings on the left side are attached directly to the rocks of the Kapuzinerberg Hill which creates some fascinating views along the street.
Hidden lane in Vienna
On a rainy summer evening I walked through this lane next to the Michaelerkirche in Vienna. Though it is situated in the centre of Vienna no one else was in the lane. A real place of silence in the middle of the metropolis. Do you know such silent places in your city too?
Laubengasse in Merano
At the end of my visit in Merano I walked down the famous Laubengasse which is known as a lane with one of the longest arcades in the world. Which fine streets with arcades do you know?
