Cycling and Mountainbiking
Being on the move, discovering the sunny south of Austria and experiencing the wonderful natural scenery. Cycling through southern Styria means actively getting to know an incomparable region and not losing sight of something very important: a good glass of wine, always awaiting you at the end of the road.
Everything a biker's heart desires: a huge range of great mountain bike tours that lead as far as neighbouring Slovenia and numerous cycle paths with culinary and cultural stops. You can cycle up steep hills to Kitzeck, Europe's highest wine-growing village, or if your prefer to ride on the flat along rivers covered by shady forests, or slightly hilly stages towards the South Styrian Wine Trail, the Sausal Wine Trail or along the Schilcher Wine Trail. Southern Styria not only offers the ideal backdrop, but also more than enough options to challenge and enchant enthusiastic cyclists, regardless on their physical condition.
For athletes, families and hobby cyclists - southern Styria offers cycling tours that everyone will love. Well-signposted, well-maintained and with little traffic, the cycle paths are perfect for your next short holiday. There are 200 to 2,000 metres of altitude to conquer from Lannach to the Koralm at a distance of 864 km, where you can stick to the routes, until the cycle paths lead you to one of the numerous wine taverns.
Traveling in an environmentally friendly way ...
BY BIKE TO THE TRAIN
And on we go for a well-deserved holiday, but this time the car stays put. Not only good for the environment, but also for your own body and mind. A true relaxation tour when it's only two wheels and your own muscle power. The long-distance cycle routes in particular make getting there by bike very exciting.
The long-distance cycle route EuroVelo 9, part of the European cycle network, connects the Polish Baltic Sea coast with the Croatian Adriatic Sea at a distanct of 1,930 kilometres - and also takes you through southern Styria. The River Mur Cycle Trail, or also the Styrian Wine Country Cycle Trail show you the varied landscape of southern Styria.
