Panorama Tour (Eibiswald) - a perfect triad

Open

Signposted mountain bike tour no. 102

In viticulture, a triad is often referred to as a cuvée of three different grape varieties. The idea behind it: By blending three grape varieties, a completely new wine with a unique character is created.

The Panorama Tour (Eibiswald) offers a triad of a special kind. Namely, a triad consisting of three wonderful wineries that are connected on a short but unique mountain bike tour. What is unique about this short tour in Schilcherland around Eibiswald is how it combines short, crisp climbs, wonderful places to stop for refreshments and fantastic panoramas of southwest Styria into an impressive cycling and enjoyment experience.

The "Panoramatour Eibiswald" - the perfect triad is the tour of your choice if you want to

want to start or end your cycling holiday in Schilcherland with a short pleasure tour,
if you want to get to know three typical wineries of the Schilcherland on one tour: the Garber Wine and Pleasure World, the Peiserhof and the Haring, vulgo Pichlippi winery,
if you want to absorb an incredibly dense impression of the diversity of the area on a short bike tour,
if you are looking for a mountain bike tour that your children can handle and that offers suitable rest and play facilities in the Buschenschänken,

Directions from Slovenia/Eibiswald:

From the starting point at the church in Eibiswald, start in a westerly direction to the main square.
At the end of the main square, a small detour on the left leads up to the festival hall of the market town of Eibiswald, to the vocational school and past Eibiswald Castle. The castle is open on school days as the apprentice house of the Styrian Chamber of Commerce. The inner courtyard of the castle is worth seeing. To do so, leave the route briefly, turn left after the festival hall and continue past the vocational school in an easterly direction to the castle.
Staying on or returning to the original route, finish the short loop following the signs until you reach the B69. From there, continue in a westerly direction, turn off at the roundabout in the direction of St. Oswald/Soboth and continue from there for around one kilometre to Gasthof Bachseppl (closed).
There, at the signposted turn-off, the first ascent begins over the Aichberg to the Garber Wine and Pleasure World. The route leads past the vineyards of the Garber family and opens up wonderful views back towards Eibiswald and the Kapuner mountain.
At the Garber Winery, in addition to the Wine and Pleasure World, the panorama tower invites you to take a break and enjoy a panoramic view of southwest Styria.
From the Garber winery, the route continues downhill in an easterly direction, over to the Filatsch inn, where a short, crisp climb over the Höhenstraße awaits in a northerly direction and then downhill to the turnoff into the Wolfgruben.
This cool downhill leads into the densely wooded Wolfgruben-Graben. If you think back 200 years and let your imagination run wild, you can definitely associate this with a former wolf retreat.
Downhill, a gravel section begins that leads to the Peiserhof.The next small challenge is a short climb from the Wolfgruben up to Haiden to the Peiserhof. From there, wonderful views open up again down to Eibiswald, over to the Kapuner, the Radlpass and St. Lorenzen.
With the ascent to Haiden, the difficulties of the route are as good as overcome.
From Haiden you cross the Radlpass federal road over the cycle and pedestrian bridge and roll along Kowaldstraße over to the Pichlippi winery, which offers a great children's playground in addition to wine and culinary delights.
From the Pichlippi, the route gently descends to Hörmsdorf and leisurely back to the starting point of the mountain bike tour at the Eibiswald church, or you can make a detour to the open-air swimming pool or the Ölspur Camping.
