Discover Graßnitzberg

Graßnitzberg is a suitable destination for visitors who consider wine routes, hiking trails, and places to stop for refreshments as different focuses for their trip.

Wine Route Tour and Hiking Trails

The hilly Ottenberg-Ratsch wine route tour option is suitable for e-bikes. After passing through Spielfeld, it climbs uphill to Graßnitzberg. The route therefore combines a stretch through Spielfeld with a subsequent climb. When choosing your mode of transport, its suitability for e-bikes is just as relevant as its hilly route. If you would like to include a tour through wine country with a climb in your travel plans, this option offers a clear focus.

On foot, the Spielfeld Vineyards – Nature – Archaeology Trail offers a different focus. It leads from Spielfeld railway station to Graßnitzberg, passing traditional wine taverns and going through vineyards. The railway station is the starting point of the hike, and Graßnitzberg is its destination. Vineyards and traditional wine taverns shape the route along the way. If you plan a hike based on its starting point, this trail offers a specific connection between the railway station, wine country, and Graßnitzberg. It differs from the wine route tour option, which climbs uphill to Graßnitzberg after passing through Spielfeld.

Another hike leads from the car park not far from the Tement winery to the observation tower on Platschberg, which is on the Slovenian side. From the tower, the panoramic view extends across southern Styria and into Slovenia. Unlike the trails to Graßnitzberg, the observation tower is the named destination here. If you would like a view to be the focus of an outing, you can take the destination and the two directions of the view into account when making your choice.

Three specific features can help you compare the options: the wine route tour's suitability for e-bikes, Spielfeld railway station as the starting point of the vineyards trail, and the observation tower as the destination of the trail from the car park near Tement. This makes it possible to distinguish the outings by mode of transport and by their named starting or ending point.

Wine and Places to Stop

Weinhof Kugel is located amid the vineyards on Graßnitzberg. Wine tastings are offered there during opening hours by prior arrangement. Check current availability before your trip. The traditional wine tavern at Weingut Primus is open to groups by prior arrangement. The conditions vary depending on the occasion: at Kugel, the focus is on wine tastings; at Primus, on group visits.

Muster Stub'n, a traditional wine tavern, is housed in a more than 250-year-old building with a partially thatched roof. Its offerings include wines from Weingut Polz-Kiefer and delicacies from regional producers. The building and its offerings give this tavern two distinct features: its historic structure, and wine and regional products. This makes it different from a tasting by prior arrangement or a visit planned for a group.
