Külml round, Anger - Puch

The tour in the apple country connects the villages of Anger and Puch, passes Külml Castle and uses the Feistritztal cycle path for the way back - beautiful in all seasons!
From the Feistritz Valley to the center of the apple country - or from Anger to Puch. The namesake of this tour is the baroque castle Külml, which lies in a gentle hollow halfway. The castle has been renovated in an exemplary manner, is privately owned and unfortunately cannot be visited. However, a view of the imposing grounds is always possible. The small church of St. Ulrich is located a little above Külml and is worth the detour (best on foot). The "House of the Apple" in Puch is a living museum with a meadow orchard, bee garden and fruit press. Along the Feistritz river, through the Feistritz viaduct and past the "Töchterlehof" stud farm, you can cycle comfortably back to Anger.

The leisurely tour is easily passable with normal bicycles, even though the Feistritztalradweg is not asphalted.
