The fourth day of the cycling star tour leads from Feldbach, Straden, Klöch, St. Anna am Aigen via Kapfenstein and Fehring back to Feldbach. Along the East Styrian wine route.

Starting in Feldbach, the town known for its volcanic heritage and way of life, this stage first leads through Maierdorf and Poppendorf to the vibrant community of Straden. Here, rolling hills, scenic spots, and Pinot Gris define the landscape and culinary experience.

From Straden, the route continues to Klöch, where Traminer is deeply rooted in the region and the vineyards define the townscape. Passing through St. Anna am Aigen, home to the Vinothek Steiermark and a special hub for Styrian wine diversity, the route continues to Kapfenstein.

Passing historic walls, vineyards, and open landscapes, the route then heads to Fehring and finally back to Feldbach. A varied cycling loop that combines exercise, wine, scenery, and the lifestyle of the Thermen- & Vulkanland in a particularly enjoyable way.
