Hiking in Southeast Styria
Exercising the heart
Holidaymakers are left fully satisfied in the Thermen- & Vulkanland. It’s not just about getting active, it’s about experiences that touch the heart and make us pause in delight for a moment.
The Thermen- & Vulkanland is a place where holidaymakers can stay active outdoors until well into autumn. Hikers have countless prospective themed routes to consider – wine is an obvious choice, being so omnipresent in the region and with so many enjoyable places to stop for refreshments.
Three certified hiking villages
In the hiking villages of Unterlamm, Bad Loipersdorf, and Riegersburg, you can hike along well-maintained trails past vineyards, picturesque meadows, and fertile fields the very features that make the Thermen- & Vulkanland region so unique. These three certified hiking villages are synonymous with exceptional hiking experiences as are their outstanding trails: the Zotter Loop in Riegersburg, the Wine Experience Trail in Bad Loipersdorf, and the Experience path of the senses in Unterlamm.
Hiking on Unique Trails
Discover Styria step by step: The “From Glacier to Wine” hiking trail leads from the Dachstein to Bad Radkersburg in Styria’s Thermen- & Vulkanland Region. Along the way, diverse landscapes blend with regional cuisine and delightful discoveries.
Shorter, but no less special, is the “Herzspur” trail in Bad Gleichenberg. This roughly three-hour themed trail leads through the historic Curpark and up to the Rudorfkogel. Twelve lovingly designed stations such as the “Love Swing,” the “Labyrinth,” “Heart Square,” and the “Snack Garden” invite you to explore together and take a moment to pause.
Two trails, two special hiking experiences, and many reasons to explore the Thermal & Volcanic Region on foot.
On the trails of the volcanoes
“On the Trails of the Volcanoes” the hiking network of the same name guides visitors along several trails through the Thermen- & Vulkanland Region. The tours can be broken down into daily stages and enchant visitors with scenic highlights such as lookout points, idyllic chapels, romantic fountains, and geomantic sites.
The culinary stops along the trails showcase the region’s specialties, creating a holistically interconnected experience that touches our hearts and souls and evokes a sense of lightness that accompanies us every step of the way.
