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.
Details of the cycling tour
The starting point of the tour is the enchanting municipality of Mureck, surrounded by idyllic nature. Use the breaks to take a walk through the old town or to the unique ship mill. The concept of the tour based in one hotel is actually quite simple: one accommodation serves as a "base station" from which day cycling tours lead.
Don't forget your swimwear, because a day at the thermal baths is on the tour's agenda, as well as visits to one of the excellent wineries and a pumpkin seed oil mill. On day 4, you will cross the border into Slovenia in a detour, where great views and cultural impressions await you.
Useful information about the 7-day cycling tour
Overall, the Sternfahrt in Südsteiermark can be described as a leisurely tour with stage lengths between 30 and 65 km. On the Murradweg you follow one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Austria, not to mention the natural scenery. Experience it for yourself!
