Anyone exploring Eastern Styria on two wheels will
quickly get the impression that this region was created specifically for
motorcyclists. Winding scenic roads, idyllic river valleys, and an ever-
changing hilly landscape make for a truly enjoyable ride. Far away from the
busy highways, numerous side roads connect the individual
regions with one another. The route takes you over countless hilltops, through a mix of tight
and wide curves, and time and again to impressive
viewpoints. The unique combination of scenery, tranquility, and
driving dynamics makes this tour a true hidden gem for enthusiasts on two
wheels.
Eastern Styria is one of the most beautiful motorcycle regions
in Austria and delights riders with winding roads, varied
landscapes, and unforgettable views. Amid rolling hills,
wooded ridges, and idyllic valleys, motorcyclists will find ideal conditions
for enjoyable rides.

The tour winds through the unspoiled Joglland–Waldheimat region, the picturesque Pöllauer Tal Nature Park, and the scenic Stubenbergsee Apple Country—this route combines smooth
curves, quiet side roads, and impressive natural experiences. Around every
bend, new panoramas, charming villages, and magnificent viewpoints await,
inviting you to take a short break.

The well-maintained roads offer riding pleasure for leisure riders
as well as for sportily ambitious motorcyclists. Along the routes,
traditional inns and cozy wine taverns invite you to enjoy regional
specialties and recharge your energy for the next few kilometers of curves.

Anyone seeking freedom on two wheels and
wanting to combine varied routes with Styrian hospitality
will find ideal conditions in Eastern Styria. The combination of
riding pleasure, impressive scenery, and culinary delights makes the
tour through Joglland–Waldheimat, the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park, and Apfelland
Stubenbergsee a truly special experience.
