FamilyBike Wenigzell - Sea buckthorn tour, Wenigzell

The well-signposted FamilyBike sea buckthorn route in Wenigzell leads directly past the first sea buckthorn gardens in Austria - Sandicca.
As the name suggests, the FamilyBike Sanddornrunde is ideal for a cycle tour in Wenigzell with the whole family. Both families and leisure cyclists will get their money's worth on the approximately 7-kilometre route - with plenty of places to stop for refreshments and interesting rest stops.
