    A Delightful Styrian Journey in the Thermen- & Vulkanland region

    The Vulkanland Route 66

    On the Vulkanland Route 66 – A Delightful Styrian Journey you can discover the region's culinary delights. While Route 66 in the USA is associated with endless expanses, its namesake in the Thermen- & Vulkanland region offers an incredible density of culinary and artisanal highlights.

    Along and in the immediate vicinity of the 80-kilometer-long Federal Highway 66, you will find what is probably the highest concentration of adventure factories and authentic family businesses, where guests can sample local delicacies, linger, and purchase souvenirs.

    On the Vulkanland Route 66 – A Delightful Styrian Journey, the culinary string of pearls in the heart of Europe – you are literally on the trail of enjoyment. Every kilometer reveals new temptations in the seemingly endless culinary worlds of experience: 90 signs of joie de vivre, 53 adventure factories, and 22 adventure shopping businesses in one of the most livable regions in Europe.

    Well-known gourmet stops, such as the Zotter Chocolate Adventure World, the Fromagerie (Austria’s first cheese art and ripening factory), Gölles (a factory for fine brandies and vinegars), the Vulcano Schinkenmanufaktur (ham factory) or even the Berghofermühle (flour mill) in Fehring, to name but a few. 

    It’s also well worth exploring smaller producers who specialise in niche products, for example Kober organic chokeberry farm, Koller pumpkin farm and workshop, Maika coffee roasting house, or the exciting Vulkanland snail farm.  

    But perhaps it’s big-style regional food shopping you’re after? Once again Route 66 offers a vast selection – there’s the Bauernstadl food hall in Feldbach with products from over 200 different suppliers, the Greislerei Merin in Straden, or even the Murkostladen in Mureck, which spans 170 m² and features over 3,000 hand-picked suppliers. 

    Discovering wine in a wine wonderland: You simply can’t avoid wine on Route 66. Winegrowers with vineyards big and small are scattered across the entire Thermen- & Vulkanland. There’s a fine drop of red or white or even sparkling wine to try around every corner. Wine lovers absolutely mustn’t miss a visit to the Gesamtsteirische Vinothek, which stocks 220 wines from a whole host of winegrowers.
