From the starting point at the church in Eibiswald, start in an easterly direction and cycle along the cycle path to Arnfels.
From Arnfels, cycle via Maltschach to the western end of the hop fields and then tackle the first short, but quite challenging climb up to the Sternat-Lenz vineyard. Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with unforgettable views of the Eichberg and the South Styrian Wine Route.
From the Sternat-Lenz winery, you roll leisurely down into the hop fields and continue on the cycle path to Leutschach an der Weinstraße.
From there the longest climb of the tour follows up to the Kreuzbergwarte. The ascent is challengingly steep in some sections, but always settles down, allowing you to take in the views back to the Remschnigg in the south and the South Styrian Wine Road in the east.
Once you have reached the top of the Kreuzbergwarte, we recommend a short detour to the top of the Warte, which is one of the most striking vantage points in southern Styria.
From the Kreuzbergwarte, enjoy the downhill to Großklein and cross over to Kleinklein.From Kleinklein follows the wonderful section through the labyrinth to St. Ulrich im Greith and Wies.
