The term "Tramway" is used in English-French to refer to a tramway.

On the Styrian Apple Road Tramway is a hiking trail that takes you through the beautiful landscape along orchards around Puch. In spring we are impressed with a unique splendor of flowers, in summer the trees give us shade, in autumn we can enjoy the ripe fruit.

The fruit farms around the apple village of Puch cordially invite you to taste their delicacies.

Of course, culture is not neglected either.
