Parking is available at sports ground in Gamlitz.

The tour starts at the car park by the sports ground in Gamlitz, and follows the state road towards Grubtal. You will then begin to climb up towards Labitschberg/Kranachberg on quiet municipal roads, past the vineyard-clad hills of Labitschberg and Kranachberg. Then take the turning towards Karnerberg and continue along the South Styrian Wine Road. Past the Lubekogel, we make our way back to our starting point in Gamlitz via Sernau along the municipal roads.

Please observe the highway code on state and municipal roads! For your own safety: Please wear a cycling helmet and closed shoes!

Touring bikes or town bikes are recommended rather than racing bikes, as some short sections use stony tracks, although these can be bypassed on the state roads. Tip: it never hurts to bring a basic set of tools and accessories with you, such as a replacement hose and/or repair kit, spanner, tire pump, braking and gearshift cable and a screwdriver.

There are numerous places to stop for refreshment along the tour, but please take a bottle of water with you nonetheless.

Don't miss a visit to a Buschenschank to enjoy the views!
