Because the vineyards, surrounded by dense forests, offer the ideal change from the heat of the city on a summer holiday in southern Styria.

What is there to discover in summer?
A summer holiday in the south of Styria offers the perfect mix of sport, nature and enjoyment.
The South Styrian Wineroad, which is around 25 kilometres long and runs along the Austrian-Slovenian border, invites you to go Hiking Tours or Cycling Tours through South Styria, even in summer temperatures. And if it does get too hot, because you’re going uphill rather than downhill, you can stop off at one of the many Buschenschank (Traditional Wine Tavern) for refreshments. A farmer’s salad, a strudel and a glass of wine later, your energy reserves are replenished and the Hiking Tour or journey can continue. Where to? It doesn’t matter, there are impressive views and places everywhere.
Our tip: Unique panoramic points can also be found away from the wine route. Herzerl Straße, Grenztisch and the largest bunch of grapes in the world are just a few of them.
