This location is not only significant by offering breathtaking scenery but also archaeological sites. It was inhabited already in the Stone Age. In the late Stone Age, Šobes became an important social and economic site. The river Dyje was an important route. Already in the middle Ages, the site was used to grow grapevine. Due to the favourable climatic conditions, the wines from this area are extremely high quality ones. In the last century it was supplied to the Imperial Court and to the distinguished Viennese restaurants. At present, the grapevine is cultivated on this site on a total area of 11 hectares. Most of all, Ruland White and Grey, Riesling and Welsh Riesling are grown here.
