The cycle tour takes you from the market town of Pischelsdorf am Kulm to the vineyards of Eastern Styria

This tour is well worth the climb, as the views become increasingly beautiful towards the Hollerberg and the taverns along the way provide refreshments - you should definitely not miss out on a good Styrian snack.The Hollerberg tour begins in the market town of Pischelsdorf, which lies at the foot of the Kulm, a panoramic mountain in eastern Styria. Wine and all kinds of fruit, including the famous "Kulmland apricot", ripen on its southern slopes. Inns and taverns offer the best of regional produce, and a factory produces mustard and vinegar. Pischelsdorf is known for its striking church tower, which at 77 meters is the highest in Eastern Styria. It can be climbed on guided tours.
