Southern Styria spoils all your senses. This trek takes you past rolling hills, endless vineyards and picturesque villages. Along the way you taste local specialties like the fresh-fruited Sauvignon Blanc and the savory Vulcano ham. And since you'll end each day in a welcoming wine hotel, relaxation is guaranteed - glass of wine in hand, regional dish on your plate. Sounds good, right?

This is a perfect trip for nature lovers with a weakness for good food and drink. Along the way you will visit traditional Buschenschanken - cozy wineries where you will not only taste locally produced wines, but also discover regional delicacies. This trek mixes nature, culture and gastronomy into one tasty adventure. Active relaxation, they call it. We call it a perfect excuse for another glass of wine.
