Summer resort tips: Among the insider tips are the Buschenschänken (wine taverns) along the East Styrian Roman Wine Road. Passing beetle bean fields and apple farms, this bike tour takes you in the footsteps of the Romans, so to speak, and as a reward you get a hearty, typical East Styrian Brettljause. Mountain bikers get their money's worth along the newly created mountain bike tour "Der große Jogl". The tour can be divided into different stages.
