Apple tour WZ16, Floing

Open
Cycle comfortably along apple orchards through ApfelLand and experience the beautiful landscape of the East Styrian hills. Culinary delights await you.
This cycle tour takes us to the center of the Styrian Apple Road - to the apple village of Puch.

The apple trees are in full bloom between April and mid-May, wrapping themselves in a cloud of white and pink foam. We take the R8 either from Stubenberg or Anger to Unterfeistritz. From here we take the WZ16 to Puch bei Weiz. We have already earned a rest there. Perhaps someone would like to listen to the organ sounds of the Puch parish church via audio guide:
