Eating & Drinking
When in Rust, do as the locals do and head for one of the many
Heurigen
. They're easy
to spot - just look for the
Buschen
(small wreath) hanging in front of doorways. Some
operate under restaurant licences and are therefore open throughout the summer. For
some of the finest formal eating in town, head to Mooslechners Bürgerhaus.

Don't miss this rustic wine spot on the main drag. Not only is the pay-by-weight buf-
fet brimming with delicious sausage and cold cuts, the wine is a treat, and in season the
idyllic cobblestone courtyard is a wonderful vantage point to observe the local storks.
