Eastern Styria's Roman Wine Road
Winegrowing in Eastern Styria has a long tradition with a 2000-year history. A 75 km archaeological trail follows Roman times through gently rolling hills, forests and vineyards.
Starting in Gleisdorf, the Roman Wine Road leads through the picturesque hills of Eastern Styria via Hartberg to Bad Waltersdorf. Stop along the adventure roads (also called theme roads) in the garden of Austria and taste your way from wine farm to wine farm. The Buschenschänke with the Styrian Brettljause and the noble drops round off the experience on the Roman Wine Road. This is also a great place for a vacation on a bike or motorcycle.
