Southern Styria - based in one hotel

Cycling in the Country of Vines and Volcanoes

If locals of a country holiday in a region, then it must be a great destination, right? Southern Styria just one of those places in Austria! Our tour based in one hotel through this special region below Graz combines great views, varied activities and numerous hours of sunshine. One thing needs to be emphasised again: Southern Styria is widely known for its delicious cuisine - this is included in the trip in the form of a tasty menu half board.

Itinerary

Welcome drink, welcome briefing/information meeting and bike fitting.

You will follow the river Mur eastwards to Bad Radkersburg. The thermal bath's wonderfully warm water is awaiting you (admission included!). On your way back to Mureck, you will ride your bike through the floodplains along the Mur cycle path. 

The day will start with a transfer to the South Styrian Wine Road where you partake in some wine tasting at one of the excellent wineries (included in the tour price!). Then you will cycle along the Wine Road via Gamlitz and Ehrenhausen back to your hotel.

Cycling without borders! Already the river Mur forms the border with Slovenia. In Slovenia you will cycle on beautiful paths and get great views throughout the day.

On the fifth day, you will take the train to Graz. The 2003 European Cultural Capital invites you for a visit. Afterwards, you will cycle along the wonderful Mur cycle path via Seggau and then back to Mureck.

The black gold - pumpkin seed oil - is what has made Styria famous. Nowhere else will you find higher quality oil than here. The route will lead you through the  area where the pumpkins are grown and of course, to a mill where you will be able to watch the production process (admission included!).

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.

Hotels

Pension Steirerland Mureck***

The Troicher family's very privately run hotel has been furnished with predominantly natural materials such as wood and stone in keeping with the natural landscape of southern Styria. All 16 rooms are individually designed and equipped with more comfort than you would expect from a 3*** hotel. The innkeepers' motto - warm, hospitable, Styrian - is realised above all in the excellent cuisine. The son of the house has already cooked for kings and knows how to present regional products in a manner befitting a hotel. The sun terrace, sunbathing lawn and wine cellar invite you to round off your day's cycling in a cosy atmosphere.
