Ökoregion Kaindorf Water & Wine Tour, Ökoregion Kaindorf
Open
The almost 30-kilometre tour takes us from Kaindorf via the pilgrimage site Maria Fieberbründl to Tierwelt Herberstein and back, with numerous wine taverns along the way.
A bike tour for the senses! Culinary, historical and scenic highlights are offered by the Water and Wine Tour, which starts and ends in Kaindorf. Several historic buildings, including a pilgrimage church, several chapels and two castles (Herberstein and Schielleiten) can be explored on this circular route as well as delicacies for our palate. Numerous wine taverns and restaurants are just waiting to be visited by us and offer regional delicacies. All those who love flora and fauna should plan a detour to the Herberstein Animal World with its garden castle! And for those who want to taste their way through the region, there is the Höfler oil mill with farm shop.
