HIKING IN STYRIA
Over hill and dale in south-eastern Styria
Hiking, wine and well-being in the Bad Loipersdorf region - including Austria's largest walk-in wine bottle with a glass.
Not all hikes are the same: Our tip for this weekend can definitely be categorized as an "extended walk", even if the name "Stock & Stein" sounds more challenging. The ten kilometers lead gently up and down through forests, across meadows, past vineyards and on roads through the sparsely populated area of Bad Loipersdorf.
If you take your time at the numerous stops along the way and also enjoy the tranquillity of the rest areas, you may well need several hours to complete this wine experience circuit. A geologically interesting site is located near the fish pond, where remains of walls and photo panels point to a basalt quarry that was active until the end of 1940.

This area is a nature reserve, especially as the rare dog-tooth lily grows here. However, the attraction of the trail is undoubtedly the 13-metre-high walk-in wine bottle with a wine glass as a viewing platform.
The "view from the wine glass" extends from the East Styrian hills across the Wechsel region to neighboring Burgenland. Last but not least, we recommend a hearty Buschenschank snack or relaxing in the Loipersdorf thermal spa. Conclusion: a trail for the whole family.
We start at the thermal spa, walk past the Hotel Stoiser and follow the asphalt road slightly uphill to the accessible wine bottle.
We follow the "Stock & Stein" wine signposts and pass the following stations along the way: Lautenberg spring, wine nature trail, quarry, pond, wine hand, Thrumer wine tavern, Stein village, wine waterfall.
The hike ends with the power hill at the thermal spa.
