... the orchard of Austria "A journey to paradise"

Styrian apple road

The Styrian Apple Road winds through Eastern Styria for 25 km. By car, on foot or on a bicycle – apples in liquid or solid form always take centre stage. Raw or processed into juice, cider, schnapps and delicious apple dishes. You can even enjoy entire apple menus from apple cider soup to apple dumplings at restaurants along the way.

With over half a million fruit trees...

THE MUNICIPALITIES OF APPLE STREET

The Styrian Apple Road was created in 1986 to bring the wonderful area of local fruit growing closer to everyone. Whether during flowering or harvest time, a visit to the apple street communities, Puch bei Weiz, Floing, Anger, St. Ruprecht an der Raab and Albersdorf-Prebuch, will always be an experience.

Apple road course

Around 40 farmers along the Styrian Apple Route conjure up unique delicacies from apples: juice, cider, schnapps, jams or the “abacus”, the highest spiritualization of the apple. These products can then be tasted at the direct marketers and purchased in the farm stores.

A hike through the apple orchards or a bike ride along the apple route is a real treat, especially in spring or fall. In spring, millions of blossoms adorn the apple trees, and in fall, the farmers work daily to harvest the crunchy apples.
