Vineyard round HB7, St. Johann bei Herberstein

Open
Beautiful natural landscape with forests, vineyards, fruit and orchards
The connection from the Feistritztal cycle path to the Apfelstraße is a real panoramic route on the southern slope of the Kulm. The climb over the Hoferberg wine-growing area to the Ackerwirt is rewarding with wide views over the East Styrian hill country. In the apple village of Puch, restaurants and apple farmers invite you to take a break.

Several businesses invite you to take a break = start in PuchFrom Puch we take the same route back to Harl, we are now on WZ16/Apfeltour and therefore in the middle of ApfelLand with its orchards, with the striking Kulm to our right. At the edge of the forest, we turn right and ride down the WZ16 to Feistritz.
