Remschniggalm - wine, alpine pasture and more.
The "Remschniggalm Tour. Wine, alpine pasture and more" is the mountain bike tour of your choice if you

- Behind Lateindorf, the longest climb of the day begins over the Wutschenberg up to St. Pongratzen.
- When you reach the top of the hill at Gasthof Legat, it is a good idea to make a detour up to the church and, if the church tower is open, to climb up to the viewing platform at the church tower. The reward is a fantastic 360-degree panoramic view of Slovenia and southwestern Styria.
- The gravel road and trail section of the tour starts from Gasthof Legat in St. Pongratzen.
- The route follows the border ridge over long stretches and thus repeatedly offers wonderful views into southern Styria as well as to Slovenia all the way over to the Pohorje mountain range.
- From the Kapla border crossing, the mountain bike trail leads partly on single trails to the alpine hut and includes some steeper, challenging sections on the way there.
- From the Remschnigg Alm, you then continue to roll eastwards to below the former Pronintsch inn, from where you descend on asphalt to Arnfels and on the cycle path back to Eibiswald.
- A climb to the church of Sankt Pongratzen with its great viewing platform is definitely recommended!
- Stop at the Reschmiggalm for refreshments
