Before construction of the village church, residents of Wösendor f were obliged to walk along the Kirchweg, the church- path, to nearby Sankt Michael. Ried Kirchweg lies just nor th of the path, where the vineyard borders on the Hochrain, and was known early-on for producing par ticularly good results with Riesling on the higher-situated Wösendor f side. The reason for this is a small tributary stream, which during heavy rainfalls has blanketed the Danube sediments with sand and coarsely grained streambed stones, creating a gently sloping alluvial fan. Next to the westerly Achleithen, the Kirchweg soils display the least concentration of carbonates in their subsoil. The lower-lying side closer to St. Michael is composed of Danube sediments and reserved for the Grüner Veltliner.
