Discover the taste of Styria

Styria is known as the green heart of Austria – and it’s also something like the country’s delicatessen shop. After all, there are plenty of culinary highlights to be found between the mountain pastures in the north and the apple orchards and vineyards in the east and south. Picturesque landscapes combined with regional delicacies – a match made in hiker’s heaven!

CULINARY HIKING TRAIL TIPPS IN STYRIA

Don't be in a hurry when hiking in Styria. If you are looking for idyllic alpine pastures and the culinary delights that go with them, the alpine north is the place to be. Those who want to swap the alpine regions for vineyards are at home in the south and east of Styria. Countless pleasure hiking trails lead between the Dachstein and the wine country to alpine huts, culinary manufactories, winegrowers and wine taverns.
