In Mannersdorf on the Hungarian border, Klostermarienberg is situated amidst extensive orchards and chestnut groves.
Founded in 1197, the Cistercian Abbey with its pretty parish church is the venue of a chestnut festival every October.

The local chestnut friends' association shows what is made of the nut at countless stands: Chocolate and pastries, sausage and roulade, cake or strudel, even a beer is brewed here from the chestnut.

In addition to the culinary delicacies, there is also a musical entertainment programme. The association provides information about the cultivation and use of chestnuts.
The highlight is a guided tour to the Liebinger trees: a group of chestnuts - around 350 years old and with a ten-metre thick trunk.
