Buschenschank hiking, Gleisdorf region

Open
This tour leads around the sunny city of Gleisdorf and along the vineyards north of the city and is accompanied by stops on regional cuisine in Eastern Styria.

During “Buschenschankhiking” in the sunny hills around Gleisdorf you get to know the country, people and cuisine in the north-east of the city. Along the theme trail you pass 6 stations, usually with a rest bench, and learn interesting and worth knowing facts about the regional products. The main players, however, are the wine taverns along the tour, which usually invite you to stop by from late autumn onwards. There are not only delicious snack plates and tasty drinks waiting for the guests, but also a garden with wonderful views over the vineyards and out into the country. And for families there is usually a children's playground.

“The sun in the heart” is the mission statement of the Solar City Gleisdorf, which relies entirely on the use of solar energy. The city's landmark is a 17 meter high "solar tree" with particularly "energy-rich leaves". In this context, the “Street of Solar Energy” is also worth mentioning, a themed path through the city center where, in addition to shops and restaurants, there are more than 100 solar power plants. The path is paved throughout, making it suitable for hikes with strollers!
