Gamlitz: Wine, Trails and Culture

When choosing a hotel, it helps to consider which of these interests you want to shape your stay.

Get active at the Motorikpark

The Motorikpark Gamlitz, set around the Gamlitz landscape ponds, features 41 stations and nearly 150 training variations. These include balance courses, a sensory trail, a climbing route and running over earth waves. The 41 stations are designed for groups of all ages. This range brings together different forms of exercise rather than focusing on just one activity. For groups wishing to spend time together at the Motorikpark, the different formats provide a practical starting point for planning.

Hiking through the vineyards

Gamlitz is part of the South Styrian Nature Park. Hiking trails through the Gamlitz vineyards pass through districts such as Sulztal, Labitschberg and Eckberg. The Cäcilien Rose Trail leads from Regele Keuschn to Buschenschank Trunk and offers beautiful views. The route descriptions differ in how they identify the way: the vineyard trails pass through several districts, while the Rose Trail has two named endpoints. This makes it possible to distinguish between the hiking options based on their different locations.

Taste wine and discover wine cellars

Wine is another possible focus of your stay. Visitors can taste wine at wineries in Gamlitz; individual wineries’ schedules may vary. A cellar tour offers insight into wine production and the personal stories of the winemakers. Arranging a tour in advance may be necessary. Tastings and cellar tours have different emphases: tastings are about trying the wine, while cellar tours focus on its production and the people behind it. Check the schedule of the winery you plan to visit and arrange a cellar tour in advance if you want to include one. Weingut & Rebschule Grasmuck offers the tour “From Vine to Wine.”

Weinleiten Water Tower: Water and views

The Weinleiten Water Tower offers a different focus. Using an app, visitors can explore the journey of water to Gamlitz through a multimedia experience in the 27-metre-high tower. The observation platform offers views across the South Styrian wine country. The app focuses on the water’s journey, while the platform looks out over the wine country. For planning your stay, the tower adds another subject and a viewpoint to the options of exercise and wine.

Culture at the Orban Museum

The Orban Museum adds a cultural focus to the options. It presents a changing exhibition each year, so the content depends on the year. Unlike the Motorikpark, vineyard trails or tastings, the focus here is on the current exhibition. If you want to include culture in your travel plans, the changing exhibition format offers a distinct point of interest.
