The wine as a faithful companion. The "wine tour FB5" is one of a total of 14 forest and meadow tours in the Feldbach region in the thermal and volcanic country of Styria.

"Wine is St. Anna am Aigen" is written at the entrances to the market town. The wine-growing region of Vulkanland benefits from the volcanic and alluvial cones that are responsible for the precious mineralization. The wine villages and their gems can be wonderfully explored by bike. Buschenschenken and inns sweeten the tour. In the thermal bath Bad Gleichenberg regenerate body and mind. A very beautiful route, largely on side roads with little traffic. Highlights: Waltra/Scheming - St. Anna/Aigen - Kapenstein - Bad Gleichenberg.
